He...

    mexico as a failed state

    Respect???? Many of the kids I see don't know the meaning of the word respect (at least not what "my generation" understood it to be!!!).....but who is to blame? They've been brought up by the "me" generation...the "feel good" generation.....where it is more important for the individual to...

    mexico as a failed state

    Hey what's the accuracy of the gps nowadays....used to be about 9-10 ft. with WAAS.....that's still a large area to try to find something in the desert after a heavy wind has changed the landscape.....

    Ultralites on Sandy Beach

    Ermesto....I think you're mixing apples and oranges....or is it limes and guacamole....no one is talking about "beauty"....what has been discussed is some of the "noises" that are part of the "ambiance" of Penasco, and some noises that are not....like the ultralight. And by the way, the rv...

    Ultralites on Sandy Beach

    The matter of jetskis has been "discussed" in another thread....and I think most of the "problems" are a result of rental skis.....people are allowed to take them out with minimal knowledge and treat them like most of us do with rental cars.....or anything else we may rent (quads/atv's). I...

    HUGE Great White Shark Caught!

    That one may be an APril Fools joke, but I did hear that a great white (though smaller) had been caught off Bird Island a few years ago ....the same weekend my daughter and I rode our jetskiis out there, and she and her friend were swimming around with the sea lions!

    Desert colors

    If you're down there enough, it would be worthwhile for you to pick up a phone line and dsl for your place....the last time I checked at the phone company, it was 378 pesos per month, and that was for a 1.5 meg dsl and included 100 calls on the phone. Otherwise, go over to the SandBar, or the...

    Are all the beaches, uh, rocky?

    Yeah....thanks to the developer over there, we lost that nice little parking area on the rise when you come in.... I think Sub was either pulling everyone's leg on the Tide Charts stuff, or he really was sloshed when he wrote it.....

    Looking for a Ride.....

    I have a very good friend who lives in Gilbert (Val Vista and Ocotillo Rd. Area), who has an RV in San Rafael Park. She is elderly, and does not like to drive down by herself. I have given her a ride down and back, but it is approximately a 55 mile backtrack from my location (NW Phoenix)...

    Mexican Cell Phone Registration?

    Has anybody checked with their US cellphone providers on this matter??? As far as I know, AT&T and T-Mobile are the only ones able to access the Telcel network on a roaming basis.....

    Mexican Cell Phone Registration?

    TelCel was "registering" the SIM cards last summer.....was having some problems with our Amigo phones, and had to show passport to get service.....however, I was able to get a lower in-town rate as a result (something like 1 peso per minute).
