    Crossing mid day on Friday before Memorial Day

    Will those who go down on Friday throughout the day please post their wait times going into Mexico? It will be good information and will let people know if they need to take a snack if there is a long wait-especially if travelling with children.

    A reminder about accidently crossing with a gun

    When these things happen at the border, for both countries, how much simpler is it to just turn the person around and send them back and let the other country deal with it? I am aware of an incident that happened in Lukeville several years ago where a couple was making their first venture into...

    Best Route to Caborca and South from PP

    You should have requested a trial in Gila Bend. Good chance the trooper would not have shown up. I have a friend who has done this twice with that result.

    No change in Mexican Land Ownership rules

    As much as I would like to have seen this pass the side benefit to the trust is you get to pass property to your heirs without paying inheritance tax. That's not so bad.

    A reminder about accidently crossing with a gun

    One article said he may have PTSD issues. If true that could explain the disorientation.

    Holy freakin' cow

    The Border Patrol's actions don't seem much different from Sheriff Joe in Maricopa County. If he was held accountable so should they.

    Bringing patio furniture down...any tips?

    We was faced with the same dilema. We needed patio furniture but I got tired of being a "smuggler". The last few times we needed furniture I hired a broker and paid the tax on my "used" furniture. The last time we went to Sam's Club in town and found what we needed. The price was extremely...

    Holy freakin' cow

    If it's a Pima county law it would seem to be very discriminatory. Do they limit the amount of liquor you can buy in a store as well? I really don't see any distinction. In most cases the liquor I purchase in Mexico costs more than what I would pay for it at Costco or other places so it's not...

    Holy freakin' cow

    If you are over the limit on beer or liquor coming back can't you just pay the duty and go? I know they don't give that to you as an option they just confiscate the excess amount but it seems to me you should be able to pay the duty and keep it.

    loud music till 5 a.m.?

    Has there ever been a study regarding the economic impact of Semana Santa? No doubt the condos do well. My understanding is very little money is spent at restaurants (understandable) but I wonder how the other businesses fare. Quite a few of the visitors that I have encountered over the years...

    Crossing Last Night

    The sign only says stop-it doesn't say stop and wait. If no one there, proceed unless you are too intimidated by your govt.

    Permanent Resident Card?

    Russ-other posts have said you cannot drive a foreign plated vehicle or risk having it seized. Is there a geographical boundary where you can drive a foreign plated vehicle? Thanks.

    Talapia

    Talapia are used to clean the poo areas where salmon are farmed so the salmon doesn't get infected.

    Talapia

    Be careful with farmed talapia. A good amount comes from fish farming operations in China and they don't use the best hygenic methods. Polluted water is the big problem. There have been recent studies released on the health issues with eating talapia. I personally avoid it.
