As if seeing a full moon over the ocean wasn't going to be amazing enough this weekend... The first partial lunar eclipse visible in southern Arizona since February, 2008 will be showing in the night sky on Saturday morning, June 26th. The moon will enter into the shadow on the earth at...

Just wondering if any of you have found this possible? Haven't tried it yet and from what I've found online, it's a country-specific site and viewings outside of the US aren't allowed (without a clever proxy link). Thanks!

Just got back from Penasco last night, going through my bank statement online, trying to figure out what kind of conversion rates I was scoring from my Visa debit purchases, and WHOA!!! The new(ish?) ATM in Max's Cafe will actually give you USD$, real greenbacks, but for a $60 withdrawal I was...

http://www.rockypointrestaurants.net/ either forgot to pay their bill or...well, anyway, if anyone knows mel150, the guy who started the site, let him know his BlueHost domain expired!

I realize happy hour specials come and go, but a lot of us infrequent visitors don't have the time to jump from restaurant to bar to each corner of Penasco (as small as it may be) in search of the best bang for our boozin' buck, so I was wondering if some of you locals could help out w/ your...

Looking for a cheap monthly rental that's off the board, as in not listed on the normal real estate sites, such as homes.point2.com. Guest house, spare room, converted RV, whatever. Short-term, possibly longer depending on the location/deal. Prefer to be in Mirador or Old Port area, though the...

During Spring Break season, which starts today and goes thru the 27th, you will not BELIEVE how long you'll have to wait to get insurance in Why or at the border. Don't mess around and just do it online via http://www.proalliance.com.mx/ You can print out your policy right at your desktop and...

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/11/magazine/11fob-consumed-t.html as of oct, NYTimes sez yes, sugar cane. But people are telling me otherwise, claiming that these "heche in Mexico" bottles that they get at the hot dog stands are corn syrup. What do you guys have in your fridge/bar? Need answer...

Hey guys, trying to find that border blog that's been linked here several times. Had it as a favorite on my old laptop but that got stolen. They provide a lot of info that's sort of insider-based, most of it goes over my head, but the guy who runs it seems to really have a good take on all of...

Read about it here: http://vivasancarlos.com/bulletin/index.html They got the info via http://www.elimparcial.com/ Here's a quote from someone on the board: "...it does not sound good. The international highway between Guaymas and Hermosillo was closed at 9am and is still closed as far as I...

In Praise of the All-American Mexican Hot Dog http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/26/dining/26unit.html “THE problem with American hot dogs is that they’re American,” “A ketchup-and-mustard hot dog is boring,” continued Ms. Murillo, a high school senior. “They’re not colorful enough. You’ve got...

For the life of me, I can't find the site I had bookmarked years ago on an old laptop that had ACCURATE temps for Penasco (not taken at Gila Bend!), along with water temp, wind, etc. Seems as though it was geared more towards boating enthusiasts. By the way, it’s not AccuWeather, Weather...

Just curious if anyone's stayed at the El Mirador Village Hotel before, or has heard from anyone who has. New kid on the block, just east (I think?) from Manny's, placed perpendicular to the beach between Manny's and Pitaya Bar. (Here's a link to the official site...

Was just cruising through the most recent YouTubes with the tags "Puerto Penasco" and I found this news report. They show a black Yukon full of bullets, a weapon & blood that looks to be from the white Cherokee, which was also struck. What exactly is this from??? It's posted on May 26th, so it...

Hey guys, haven't stayed at the Princesa de Penasco resort before and just had a few random questions you'd probably have the answers to, especially Jamie, who mentioned owning a couple of condos there. Figured some others on the board may as well, or are at least familiar with the Princesa...

I must say, in hearing that The Reef was going to be changing things around and trying to become a hot spot again, I had my doubts, but this place looks really freaking nice! Very stylish, everything is wood, wicker or white cotton (from the pics), fire pits, plus a wood-paneled DJ booth on the...

I'll spare you my poor translation, but here's a report: http://www.elimparcial.com/EdicionEnLinea/Notas/Noticias/27042009/371666.aspx Didn't someone on here mention hearing gunshots last night while eating? I can't find that post now. I guess this went down at 13th/Juárez intersection...
