I agree that it's a mixed bag.....love not having the crowds...but also feel for the locals that are hurting. Maybe the prices will fall somewhat too.... I think many of the businesses were riding the increase of business and raising prices every chance they had. Took a ride to El Golfo on...

It will if you get a regular plan that has roaming....the Amigo (prepay) does not have international roaming.

I left on Sat. afternoon (3/21) to avoid the rush....hit the border about 4pm....had about a 45 minute wait. They arrested someone just in front of me (Texas plates/hispanic man). There was a 10 minute wait at the Border Patrol checkpoint between Ajo/Gila Bend....the agent was asking a bunch...

I haven't had any problems going thru Sonoyta.....even at the radar trap as you come into town on the way home....I know about it, drop down to 40kph (and 20kph when the signs change...yeah I know, it's a nuisance expecially for anybody behind me.....but I'm sure one vehicle behind me on one...

Definitely has been a decrease in activity from previous years. It did pick up on weekends (was there from 3/13 to 3/21).

Jim...what does the service cost you (infinitum)....my friend has a phone line already from Telmex...and was thinking of paying for the difference to set up DSL down there??? MagicJack works great as long as the dsl is a decent speed and is not fluctuating. I tried it with some wifi from one...

Just heard from some friends who own a bar down on the Mirador....business is terrible. They've been depending on the spring breakers....after the lousy winter they've had.....so, it hasn't been happening! I'm sure the bad press Mexico has gotten from the papers/university administrations...

Except for some of the video of the dolphin and sea lions, don't waste your time looking for any pole dancing....unless you consider "fishing pole" dancing!!! LOL

U of A, NAU, and Maricopa County Community Colleges have their spring break next week, plus many of the local school districts. It's been dead down there the entire year so far. Even Pink Cadillac and Manny's haven't been open several of the weekends. The town is really hurting.

How much of a backup? The last time down (President's Day weekend), I came back on Monday evening....took about 3 hours to get from just back of the Wendy's to cross....they were taking 5-10 minutes per vehicle! Even the Border Patrol agents at the checkpoint between Ajo and Gila Bend...

You'd think you were in Super Ley in RP......with more stuff!!

I may get a rush from certain things....but since I am not a fisherman, it is not from that activity! But once any activity causing this temporary rush has ceased, you become very quickly drained.....which these "fisherman" would be experiencing at this point! Obviously from your responses to...

bahiatrader....before you jump all over a couple of us who are questioning the authenticity of the photo....take a deep breath, and count to 10! Your rant for the wrong reason detracts from the actual reason you are upset. Just look over the photo....is it reasonable to think that a bunch of...

Chuck...sent you a PM

I have to agree with Sally/Happy....if they caught that number of fish....they would be falling all over the deck hauling them in...and would break their necks! Looks staged....maybe got some fishing boat to dump a bunch on the deck???

If you can get phone service, it's relatively inexpensive to get broadband internet from the company (TelMexl???). I believe it's around $60/month for the phone line and broadband. I'm tapping in to my next door neighbor's service off his router (using wifi), and it seems to be ok. I believe...

With the overlap, the middle weekend should be the best! Selling the beads??? I thought you were trading them for "photo ops"???? LOL I'm wondering how much activity there will be this year. Was down over President's Day weekend, and Playa d'Oro was somewhat busy, but the whole Miramar...

Particularly if they come from the company that was selling salmonella laced peanut products!!!

Spring Break will pretty much be over by then.... One of the Universities (not sure if it's U of A or ASU) has there's starting the 7th, while the other 2 have it starting the weekend of the 14th. By the 20th, the college kids will be out of money and gone, and so will the "wannabees"...the...

Back before EVERYBODY had cell phones, I would stop on occasion....now, hardly ever.....but it depends on the circumstance and the temperature (desert + high temp + no water = life threatening) . The same comment holds true in the states. I can't see stopping to help an able bodied person...
