Unfortunately, if construction picks up again (or when it does...) eventually there will probably be only 2 rv parks left....Playa Bonita and The Reef!

I've got some pics from last weekend and 4th of July weekend...but they're "adult"....and probably wouldn't pass muster here!!!!

Maybe that was the reason for the backup at the border Sunday evening...took me 2 1/2 hours to get across from the Wendy's....

Another "wonderfull" wait at the border last night. Got there about 6:30 in the evening....line to the Wendy's.....took me 2 1/2 hours to cross. The Mexican police were telling the people that only one lane was open thru Customs, and that the agent in charge didn't care if there was a long...

That sucks.....almost sounds like the federales were involved...."fortunate" how they were able to locate your truck in the middle of the night halfway up to Sonoita that quickly!!! Maybe they needed to make a pickup (or dropoff) out in the desert! Is it an older truck? Any kind of built-in...

Dry Heat....I'm curious too! Where are they going to dredge a harbor that can handle a ship over 600 ft. long and that has a draft of 24-29 ft (which is what most of the cruise line ships are)???? A ship that large couldn't turn around in RP harbor, or even the hole they dug out past the Reef...

I've never tried buying mine right at the border...either the Circle K down the hill or the big truck stop across the bridge. Have heard others indicate that they run out. I always buy mine in RP and have never had a problem. With the new station opened next to the Desert Oasis, there are...

Hey Jeff....the water doesn't cool off as quickly as the air temp....the kids should be fine....maybe a little chilly when they get out of the water.

Jeff....I'd be interested in getting some info on the Movistar plan that you have....Telcel also has the $1.20 for 20 minutes to the states, but it's not available on the Amigo (prepay plan that I use).

Negative on Verizon.....Altel was working for a while, but hear that it isn't again. I have AT&T which works (so does T-Mobile)....just a bit expensive to use. Pick up a cheap Nokia phone (from AT&T or T-Mobile) on their prepay plan (Pay as you go)....get it unlocked (plenty of places in town...

Thanks for the responses on the fishing license....I'm a firm believer on having the proper "insurance"....I'm usually riding jetskis, so don't have to worry about them, but if I was going to fish, I'd make sure I had one. I haven't seen that center console boat in a while.....and rarely have I...

Happy....or Stuart....how do they enforce the license requirement??? I've seen an "official" type walking around in the launch area by the harbor.....but no one lately. It there a police boat that is out there roaming around? Haven't seen the one that used to be in the harbor either.....

Hit the border at about 6:30pm....backed up a couple hundred feet from the Tourist building in the center of the road....3 lanes open.....took 40 minutes to get thru. Some of those agents are slow as #@$%$#.....the lane I was in was moving twice as fast as the other two! ADOT was gone...

Bill....I have only one "real" experience to report on Portugal....a friend had a fire in her trailer, and it took her almost a year to collect on her policy thru Portugal....however she did collect! I used him when I started coming to RP years ago, but never had a claim. However, check over...

Most of the Mexican gas stations carry the low sulfur....I believe that there is a different sign they have for the ultra low sulfur....the last I read on it, it hadn't made it to many of the stations yet.....mainly available only in the major Mexican cities. I didn't notice a different colored...

I believe the ultra low sulfur engines didn't come out until 2007. My 2006 Dodge can run on the Mexican diesel. The 2007's run the risk of gumming up the sensors. Probably wouldn't be a problem with a fill-up down there, but not continuously. From what I've read, the low sulfur (not the...

Looks like something I saw on the road out of town (by the bypass to Caborca and the Mayan)...when a vehicle collided head on with one of those dump trucks....the dump truck even caught fire. Did the driver side air bag help???

Tyler...I've never experienced it coming back to the US(Midnight)....but have trying to enter Mexico one holiday weekend several years ago....was backed up about 3 miles on the US side.....the Mexicans were waving everybody thru....don't really know how long they did it. However, I've been...

Just do the "sting ray shuffle" when you walk around in the shallow areas....have avoided being hit for about 25 years, even walking out at Cholla looking for sand dollars. (knock on wood!!! ;)

I got across in about 20 minutes...... :twisted: :lol: ...BUT... I was at the border at 6am when the Mexicans opened the gate. There were about 15-20 vehicles in front of me...and with 3 lanes open...it still took too long for that many cars!!! Ther is no excuse for that long a wait...
