    Worth a read

    The New York Times masthead displays the slogan "All the News That's Fit to Print." But today's slogan should read "All the News That Fits Your World View" and applies to the Times, New York Daily News, Washington Post, Washington Times, CNN, MSNBC, Fox, Time, Newsweek, NPR, PBS and every other...

    Moving Kayaks Back and Forth Across Border

    Hate to predict anything about Mexico, but if your registration and license on the trailer are in perfect order you shouldn't have any trouble on either side. That's how it's been. As for exploiting Covid-19 as a new source of tourist income, the Mexican government should eventually figure out...

    Bodies Found

    I’m assuming the bodies were found near the road to the oyster farm so many of us are fond of

    El Barco oyster farm video

    Since many of us like to visit RP in May or June, I decided to research this oyster safety business online, giving special attention to Louisiana where I first got serious about oysters. Here's what I found. Raw oysters are a bit of a gamble any time, but more so when the waters are warm in...

    Who was here in the beginning?

    I found the forum shortly before one of its many re-births, I'm guessing around 2008. At that time the Happy One was running amok spewing insults and nonsense. Stuart shut the forum down and re-booted it with some new, or newly enforced, rules, and probably accomplished some other objectives...

    Question for kayakers

    You're right, I didn't like the messages, but they contained some content I needed to hear, so I gave you a couple of likes anyway. Inflatable is attractive because it's more transportable. I need the back of my Tacoma for more than just a kayak. I have a float tube and have used it some...

    Question for kayakers

    Since we've already drifted away from Rocky Pt, I have some questions about kayak fishing. I've never been in a kayak and thought this might be a good time to try it out in fresh water. If I take to it, I might try it in the ocean on calm days. Any kayak I buy, now or later, would be an...

    Fishing withdrawal

    I fought public lands access issues for years. It's a real barrel of snakes. I should write up a primer on the subject for those who are interested. We've won a few battles, and but in the long run we're all losing access to public lands.

    Shootout in Caborca & Puerto Lobos

    One of my friends was down there this weekend and is driving back now as I type. He heard the first shots and hunkered down with a family of locals. Now there's army and police all over NW Sonora. He saw one Black Hawk helicopter. This basically confirms much of what was on Ariete...

    Looks like lock down will continue for awhile

    El Imparcial has it, but doesn't have a translation option. They aren't acting like it's a huge deal. Haven't been able to find any more about Lobos.

    Looks like lock down will continue for awhile

    Try this. Things just got spicier with video of bodies along the road between Caborca and Sonoyta. But I wonder why I can't pick up this story anywhere else. Some of the action evidently started late last night. You would think... https://www.facebook.com/ariete.caborca/?ref=page_internal

    Sanitary barriers in other locations?

    Major problem with zip code data is that it gives number of infection cases but not number per capita within the zip code. Number of cases should correlate to the number of people living in the zip code. My zip code in Tucson covers a large area with relatively low population density and has...

    Sanitary barriers in other locations?

    I have reports from people who have gone down to Lobos recently, and I will be receiving more later this month (might even go down myself), but the experiences are somewhat varied and things are changing a bit and can continue to change. This makes me reluctant to pass on what I know. If you...

    Looks like lock down will continue for awhile

    Miramar, I'm assuming your permanent Mexican residency card puts you in a different position from sport fishermen and other tourists. I'll be curious if you're asked to show your residency card immediately when you cross the border. Would be grateful for a report on what experiences you have...

    Pardon me for interrupting important trash talk, but did anyone notice this? https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/18/politics/extend-border-and-travel-restrictions-coronavirus/index.html Dig in. This is gonna be a long one.

    Looks like lock down will continue for awhile

    Playaperro, I gave your post a like just to say thanks, but it wasn't what I wanted to hear. Most of the people on this forum seem mainly concerned with getting in and out of Rocky Point. I'm mainly concerned with getting in and out of Mexico. RP is important, but it's a moot point if you...

    Looks like lock down will continue for awhile

    Thanks for sharing your husband's experience. My immediate desire is to accompany a friend across the border during Phase 2 (June 1 or soon after) and then down to Puerto Lobos to check on his house. This normally involves a short side trip into Rocky Point to top off the gas tank at the...
