I’ve been pulled over once at the speed trap coming down the hill into Sonoyta.The cop told us u need to be going 40 km when passing the speed limit sign. No ticket, just warning. So now it makes sense. I think when we see a speed limit sign we slow down, but are still over the limit when we pass it. I now go 40 as approaching the top of the hill. I think most people when they crest the hill are over the speed limit and that is when the radar gun gets you. I returned on Sunday as well. Did you see the new X- Ray machines being installed as if you would exit straight, not right towards secondary? One is tall enough, I’m assuming for RV’s. Also all the pot holes going south from Sonoyta are all repaired......smooth drive now!
We should be opening Penasco tomorrow July 15 to family, friends and vacation home owners. However I read an article on msn today that states Mexico is extending non essential travel restrictions at the border until August 21. I know the governor said tourists are essential so I guess we will see what happens tomorrow because still no word that the covid tests are available at the filters.
"The Mexican Foreign Ministry said on its official Twitter Tuesday that "after checking the rise of the COVID-19 spread, Mexico proposed to the US the extension of all non-essential traffic restriction at the common border for 30 more days."
Both countries will continue looking to coordinate the sanitary measures at the border region. The measures will be valid until August 21, 2020, the ministry added."

Well I'm a gonna try it tomorrow. Got a copy of the Bank Trust, Passport, CFE bill, Water Bill. Leaving at 6AM and returning tomorrow. Got a ride up and back , same day. What good luck. May even make a stop at the Ajo Mall! Have not crossed the border in several years. Getting into town is now the big issue.
Getting a current CFE bill is a snap. Get the number off your meter, I took a photo. That number is no longer complete and needs a few digits added at the office. At the CFE office window int he lobby, show the face of the meter or give her the number. The nice clerk simple prints you a little statement with your name on it and full account number, address. As added insurance I went directly to the pay machine and deposited 20 pesos to get an additional current document with name on it.
We should return about 3 or so lets have a city wide OOOOOOHHHMMM to get some good energy at the return crossing. I'm lookin foreward to the free shower.

I just going with second hand info but l think Dr Castro said the testing machine will not be working till Friday, so hold your horses unless Life knows more about the opening for homeowners without permanent resident card.

When we got turned back the first time all we could say was go back to all the people coming down when we were going back, and then when they let homeowners without permanent resident cards in you will be locked up in your house for 14 days.

I do not understand why Encantame Towers has to Donate so much to Sonoyta to allow entrance to Puerto Penasco the mayor needs to step up his game.
Puerto Peñasco mayor Ernesto Kiko Munro explained thanks to teamwork between government and civil society, through this first donation of preventive medical equipment, made possible by the generosity of the resort development “Encantame Towers,” the city of Puerto Peñasco was able to donate 60 medical overalls, 90 face shields, and 200 KN95 high efficiency masks to health personnel in Sonoyta.

THE CONDOMINAL COMPANY “ENCÁNTAME TOWERS” ADVANCES PAYMENT OF TAXES TO THE CITY COUNCIL
The idea is that said resource be applied in the purchase of a thousand rapid tests Covid-19
By: Alberto Aldrete Valdez
PUERTO PEÑASCO SON.
In order for the city council to be in a position to acquire a thousand rapid tests to detect the Covid-19, the businessman Ing. Miguel Guevara Askar advanced the payment of various taxes to the city council as a support to face the pandemic.
The idea, as explained by the engineer Guevara himself, that the city council have the resource to acquire these thousand rapid tests and that there may be conditions to open the city more to residents and visitors.
The resource delivered will be applied to future payments to the municipal treasury that the company Encántame Towers must make, such as property transfers and domain transfers.

For the beach to reopen Pima County Donated:
The President of Puerto Peñasco detailed that two recent model patrols were delivered for the Municipal Police, one of them for the Youth Patrol, and three Razor-type and 10 radio equipment communication to Zofemat, with an investment of 1 million 360 thousand 216 pesos He reported that patrols were donated by Pima County, Arizona Is this for beach patrol or beach control
As far as Zofemat teams are concerned, it is a second ministry of the Federal Zone Fund, whose investment project is 15 million pesos in total. He said that Zofemat's resources also contemplate the acquisition of five quadrimotes, three pickup cars 4x4, a backhoe, a batanga with hydraulic platform, a water tower for lifeguards and two water skis, which will be delivered in the next few days. ′

From speaking with people I know the mayor has received money from the government to help the people of Puerto Penasco, but instead he used the money for paving of streets, lighting, and heavy equipment for garbage dumps (Is this because his term is almost over and he is making a cash grab before he is out of office via all the companies involved in these projects. This reminds me of how he won the election, lots of payouts and it's not money and that's a fact and I wanted nothing to do with and no I will not elaborate). Kiko should just do what is right and help these people and not leave the burden on us Americans.
