Ain't that the truth........
I gave up on encouraging anyone here in Yuma to make the trip south years ago, especially since in the thirty plus years that I have spent in Puerto Penasco I have never been shot, mugged, robbed or burglarized by anyone!
Whereas here in Yuma someone has their eyes on you and your possessions every minute of the day and night. I've had the props stolen off of my boat as it sat attached to my truck in front of my house in broad daylight as I was loading up to head south.
The only thing I've ever been "afraid" of is the dirty criminal cops in El Golfo and on the outskirts of Penasco. They can be pretty scary to a first timer gringo family with little or no comprehension of the local lingua.
Although, I must report that they no longer set up the ripoff road blocks on the Coastal Highway as was SOP in past times.
I personally enjoy the fact that my neighborhood in Mirador is basically a ghost town now. The bars have all gone out of business and we can actually get a nights sleep with the doors and windows wide open and listen to Mocking Birds all night instead of the moronic brain dead blasting of Mexican Rap "music".
