    Trip report Aug 8, 2020

    Back to my trip report. Closed up my place in Cholla and left at 7:30 AM Wednesday, my wife was amazed because I'm not a leave early guy. I even sent her a pic of a clock with the time. So she could complain about it on the drive home. We drove out of Cholla past the Police station where they...

    Looks like lock down will continue for awhile

    Sorry to disappoint you but, My daughter had to drive to Flagstaff on July 6th to get a Covid test because all the sites at CVS and urgent cares in the PHX area were booked out 5-7 days on July 2nd . She arrived in Flagstaff at 8AM and it took 3 hours in line to get tested, then It took her 8...

    Entry into Sonoyta

    Joe, a drivers license policy (liability only) costs $60-80 per year. Annual policy with coverage for a vehicle say $20k value is probably under $500 a year. I use Pro Alliance insurance here in Penasco.

    Trip report Aug 8, 2020

    Mexico has been so forgiving to my idiotic ideas and actions I had while drinking in Penasco and a few other locals in Mexico. If I was in the US, I'm sure some serious jail time would have been involved if I was caught. In Mexico I could usually talk my way out of it or slip a $20 to...

    I don't think you will have a problem. How and where are they going to get the collection personal, testing supplies and labs to process the tests. In AZ it takes 4-7 days to schedule schedule a test at most of the drive up sites like Urgent care, CVS. There's the free testing fairs they have...

    Trip report Aug 8, 2020

    Years ago, with 4 of my buddies during a rare July 4th weekend, that was actually cool, 70 degrees when we were heading out from Cholla at 8pm. Suddenly we have flashing lights out of nowhere, we were pulled over by a Policia truck with 2 male police and a woman police officer. They asked us if...

    As of mid July, The US isn't an approved travel partner so not many Euro zone countries are allowing the CV infested residents of the US to travel there currently.

    I've seen 3 of my local friends this trip and none of them were wearing anything I call a quality mask. One friend a bar tender had what looked like 2 pieces of tissue paper with some rubber bands, this is what he has to wear while working. Another was wearing a bandanna (he was the one who had...

    No first hand knowledge, but a local friend has said he believes total Covid cases are approx 1,500 in Penasco. He knows of 25ish people who have or had it. Many people who have gotten sick just stayed home, because they simply can't afford to go get checked out. So with Penasco saying case...

    ?????????????????????????????? Hummm, I am seeing some different numbers 5.2 Million cases with 165,431 Deaths , that's 3.18% and if you're over 50 it's under 2% over 60, 5% over 70, 8-10% over 80, 17-18%.. So if you're in a younger age group you can live with the Covid death ratio's. If your...

    Entry into Sonoyta

    They will probably put a shade structure over them for ?? millions of $$, the current regime running HLS spends our tax $$ so well. Thank goodness we have China as our friends so they buy our bonds so we can print more $$ and lend us more of the Covid19, or as Queenie would say "the China...

    Trip report Aug 8, 2020

    That's a sad story that is often repeated almost every day here. It's a big problem that the mayor Kiko somehow fails to address. I stopped going into town at night especially around the tourist areas Calle 13 and the Malecon because dealing with the corrupt A-holes just spoils a trip that...

    Trip report Aug 8, 2020

    Humidity, what humidity? I took my binoculars out last night to hunt for the comet on the western horizon, I couldn't see anything. I pointed to some houses with lights on and couldn't even see those. The bino's fogged up bad from the 85 degree temp and 80% humidity outside coming out of a...

    Trip report Aug 8, 2020

    Here is my trip report for my latest venture into Penasco. We left NE Phx area at 6:15am Saturday, stopped in Why to gas up. Hit Sonoyta at 9am, 2 cars in front of us, we got a green light and also got waved thru the military check point. No questions asked here. Gas prices were 15.35 pesos per...

    I hope I'm wrong, really wrong. But I have a feeling between the seasonal Flu and round 2 of Covid it's going to be a nightmare. Start paying attention to Europe's numbers, if you see the new cases start rising in Italy, France, UK and Germany, well that's whats going to happen here 4-6 weeks...

    Letting thousands of people into Penasco from Mexico's hot spots, ex. Mexicali and the US hot spots AZ, Texas and California probably wasn't the greatest idea to control Covids spread into Penasco. But without a Govt that can just spin the money printing presses like the US did what choice did...

    My local friend said he paid approx 6,000 pesos ($275) for the CV test, Dr. visit and prescriptions total. That is a little over 1.5 weeks wages for him when he was still working. I will over pay him for the little projects he did for me, while we were gone the last 5 months, when I see him...

    Mondone and Tec Diver, Thanks for the clarification. I guess I misunderstood him when he told me an Anti-biotic was involved. Do you guy's have any thoughts on what he was prescribed for his Covid as helpful or not? Thx
