    Short cut in Sonoita

    We take the other side street. Turn left at the circle K just like as if you were going through town, then turn right after the pharmacia. Very little traffic and very seldom any policia!

    Any changes at the border?

    It only goes up about 6 feet on each side but there is no height limitation. You go through it after you leave the booth, over where secondary inspections take place. Good luck with the 5 to 7 mph in a motorhome!!!

    Any changes at the border?

    The X-ray machine they are using now is a new one. We went through the big clunky one on the South side. We went through the new one today. They told me to travel through it at 5 to 7 mph and stop on the other side. It wasn't more than 15' in front of me!! Don't know how they expect you to do...

    Looks like lock down will continue for awhile

    We did not have to take our dogs through the tunnel. Didn't notice if there were any young children. We heard most of the people working there are volunteers!

    Any changes at the border?

    Okay back to the border! We came across about 4:30 Thursday afternoon, very few cars. We got pulled over and got a very friendly agent. Looked in the back of the truck, asked a few questions and sent us on our way. No strip search of the vehicle, no passports and no dog papers, we had 2 in the...

    Any changes at the border?

    They have had an X-ray machine for a long time. I know this for a fact because we all, about 7 of us, had to get out of my father's motor home while they X-rayed it. Maybe 2004??

    RV parts, salvage yard?

    There is a big RV salvage place in Phoenix, don't remember the name?? I think you're probably better off buying a new one.

    How did you find Puerto Penasco

    In addition, I had been to Nogales a couple of times in the mid 80's. I have no desire to visit Nogales anymore, Rocky Point for me. Have been to San Carlos and Kino. Don't like dealing with the visa stuff.

    How did you find Puerto Penasco

    Moved to Tucson, from PA, in 84. Heard about RP in 85 or 86. Told people wasn't interested in going "That far" into Mexico. Kicking myself in the ass for that mistake. When my cousin, from Phoenix, started working with me in 95 he told me him and his buddies have been there several times...
