Dry Heat... ...thanks for the advice, but you just don't get it. I have experienced horrible events in past. Mass shooting or shooting outside a grocery store, while traumatic events to those nearby, isn't even close to the same situation as being stuck in the middle of a war zone. You...

We would never recommend that our friends, relatives or neighbours stop visiting Mexico - they can make their own decisions. But we will be very honest as to why we will never again go there ourselves. We were incredibly naive to believe we were safe in Puerto Penasco, despite many of our...

Sorry if this came across as callous, here is a starting point for help with PTSD: http://www.helpguide.org/mental/post_traumatic_stress_disorder_symptoms_treatment.htm

Another interesting report... http://penascodigital.com/2013/donde-esta-el-macho-prieto-25801.html One source denies that Macho was killed, but says he lived in PP for 2.5 years and "everyone knew he' had a home in Las Conchas and moved between the there and Bella Sirena and Puerta Privada -...

Interesting story if it is true... http://www.borderlandbeat.com/2013/12/el-mayo-reportedly-gave-up-macho-prieto.html

It appears the Mexican government agrees with you, this from Pulso de San Luis... Mexican government statement: "...two government Blackhawk helicopters fired on at least 10 vehicles as they tried to flee the complex with drug cartel operator Gonzalo Inzunza. The vehicles were hit by gunfire...

" it's the craziest $#& you'll ever hear, or see. Guaranteed..." I agree 100%, we will never forget the sound, hail of bullets and the fury unleashed by that gun. The things you saw at Las Palmas, and the OP 'Weird scene' has me now thinking about some of the stuff on Tuesday afternoon and...

What does that mean? Who is Jack Stien and/or Happy? Update, never mind I just saw the link - I agree those FB posts are way out of line

"it sounds to me like they were shooting at guys running away in vehicles" - that makes sense given what we saw. But the firing was without any doubt from north to south, in what appeared to be near the Hut. The tracers were coming down at about a 30 degree angle, then there was flak flying...

"...not let some scummy people put down what we have all worked for so many years..." If that is the best you can come up with in response to those folks who went through this, my sympathies. Next time you are in fear of dying, let me know so I can insult you back. And to other posters, the...

With all due respect, did you witness this? My wife and I did, as I had gone out our backdoor to see what all the helicopter noise was - it was hovering somewhere around the Cholla Bay Rd but we couldn't see it as no lights were on. However when the gatling gun revved up, then started firing it...

No, we were renting - our first time here.

From our perspective this does change our feeling about this 'little slice of paradise' - when I first awoke I thought it was fireworks from a party that went late in our complex. I went out our door and heard the chopper but couldn't see it (they had no lights on) - then the gatling gun revved...

Neither, but close
