Hmmm. Federal Gov. Border site shows it open as of 1:00 pm. Border Wait Times

See if you can find a number for the restaurant in Crown King and ask them -- as you said, rain today in the valley and looks like much of the state. The road up there in Crown King has been washed out and mud slides a few times lately due to the run off from the earlier fires this year... you...

Since we're discussing cruise ships... this was reported today: Black Box Recordings Throw New Light on Concordia Tragedy (10 a.m. EDT) -- The disgraced captain of Costa Concordia deliberately misinformed passengers and the coastguard to the extent of damage to the doomed ship, black box...

Nice place, but yowsah!!!! I just wanted to rent it, didn't want to pay off their mortgage! :puff: "The current daily rate for both is $700. The weekly rate is discounted to $4,200." For $4200, you could get a package deal to Hawaii for two people for a week, including...

I hadn't seen the actual plans, but would like to if you could post them. I thought they were just going to open up a channel through Sandy Beach directly to the water, so it seemed. Apparently, they were going to fill the estuary with the dredged materials. This is the CEDO article on it from...

It is interesting that the cruise ships already seem to have gotten n environmental 'pass,' yet the marina that was planned on Sandy Beach (currently the racetrack), was never allowed to be developed due to environmental concerns. The marina would have had much less impact overall and actually...

Very sad. Dying for a couple hundred pesos worth of scallops.

Great newsletter, Jim. I particularly like the gasoline price chart. Always end up trying to do the mental math in my head while I'm filling the boat! Did I put 50 gallons in, or 60? Same for diesel in the truck. Wow, it's over a dollar cheaper a gallon right now down there. Cheapest diesel I...

The harbor itself is barely 20 ft. deep along the main channel (depending on tide). Very shallow at the entrance; I've had to watch closely to avoid the sand flats where the Dinner Cruise ship was stranded on occasion - only a couple feet deep at low tide. Just outside the harbor, the water...

As one who travels from Phoenix to San Carlos and back, I mapped out and calculated the difference in mileage were I to take Mex 2 at Santa Ana vs. staying on Mex 1 and going through Nogales. The difference was about 100 miles + for the Santa Ana route on Mex 2. So to answer the OP's question...

Bill, I'd buy into this (dredging La Pinta) except for one thing - they are going to have to dredge a channel for miles through the sand flats to get there. The channel at La Pinta is probably the deepest spot in the area. However, the beach along the Mayan and south along San Jorge is several...

I do. BUT... I'm thinking it was a police officer and a couple others they found buried north of town in the sand dunes. We're getting old, Roberto. These stories all seem to run together over time.

~ ROCKY POINT OPEN HOUSE TOURS FEATURING BEACHFRONT HOMES AND CONDOS ~ REAL ESTATE EXPO AND SEMINARS Well, these two last bullet points in the "old" brochure told me everything I need to know. Call me a doubter, but 24 bands with the likes of Bob Dylan, Santana, Crosby, Stills and...

"kids" with the automatic weapons may get a bit "ansy" and an unfortunate incident might occur. Never happen. They give them guns, but don't issue them any bullets. :rofl: I got pretty perturbed at one military stop in Baja a few years ago. At the time, I had a Tahoe with opening cargo doors...

You should be fine in your car.

How long does it take you to get out to the 51? :puff: Totally kidding... very cool setup! Hey, what are the two black PVC tubes? Almost look like tuna tubes (they flush with running water, you stick the whole tuna in there to keep it alive until you're ready to troll it for marlin) that you...

Be glad you're a gringo (an assumption on my part). 99% of the time, the level of your gringo inspection at these checkpoints is cursory and usually just a wave through. If you're a Mexican, well, whole different story. I can't count how many Mexican families I've seen standing outside their...

Agreed. Sometimes it just doesn't work out that way. Totuava are also terrible in that regard if you catch one while grouper fishing 100+ ft. Nearly impossible to get revived and release alive.

Jerry and Kenny have both been contributors to this site for nearly as long as it's been around and both continue to be welcome here regardless of their political views. My banning of Jerry had nothing to do with politics. It had everything to do with him derailing a perfectly legitimate thread...

^^^^ What he said. While you can run the beach for a ways south of Lobos, the beach disappears well before Libertad.
