Jerry, I'm particularly interested in the Naco-Imuris route because we have a boat in San Carlos that we are going to put up for sale soon and I need to transport several pickup loads of stuff from the boat to our house in Bisbee. If the Naco route is a good one, it may save time versus going...

Excellent! Just let me know a day or two in advance. I'm ready!

BTW Jerry, I'll pay the tolls as well as paying for gas.

I've never driven that way but I'm game to see if it's open if you are.

That would work out perfectly for me. Let me know a day or so ahead so I can figure out how to get to a good place to meet. My email is stephendotyoderatearthlinkdotnet.

Hey compadres. We are currently in Bisbee, AZ in our little Toyota Dolphin motorhome. We just bought a house here and think the motorhome would be more useful here than back at our trailer in Puerto Peñasco. Don't really want to drive the MH back down to PP to get my pickup and then have to...

Actually they scraped that section of Freemont just after Semana Santa. You'd never know it now but I saw the grader doing his thing.

So that would be a 20% IVA across the board? Not just on gas and diesel?

I only see just the one, Gilbert. Which post are you seeing a double of?

I ran into a few people down there who hired on to move boats, like back up to the US, etc. But I'm not sure if there'd be enough work to keep someone busy full-time. Most of the people I knew who did it were other cruisers looking to pick up a few bucks here and there. But maybe. If he...

Oh no, this is a giant sailboat, a 28 footer!

I know where there's a nice little sailboat for sale that would take you anywhere in the world you were stout-hearted enough to sail her.

We used a 12 volt RO desalination system on our boat while cruising the Sea of Cortez for about 4 years. Worked great but, yes, the energy requirements were high. We were able to keep the 120 gal/day system running with solar panels, although we didn't use 20% of that volume, which was good or...

Unless things changed yesterday, Benito Juarez is closed from Josefa (as stated above) but only as far as Sam's Club. Then it's open again from Sam's to the Bancomer on the south side of the railroad tracks. Traffic is diverted to Coahuila at that point.

Good to meet you, too, Gilbert. Had some of your pot roast with potatoes, carrots and cabbage last night for dinner. Delicious and there's still plenty more. Happy to see you had an easy-going border crossing. See you next time. -Steve

We've been to Chuey's a lot since we moved here. Our landlords love it and find all kinds of reasons to go and take us with them. The meat at Chuey's definitely first-rate. No fat or gristle ever. Not much variety, strictly carne asada, but they do carne asada really well.

Personally, I've got no problem with this. When I'm driving, I count on people stopping at that intersection (Freemont & Sinaloa). If the cops can make it so, fine with me.

Thanks for the directions and location of Tacos Brisas. I'll give that suggestion about the map a try, too. Thanks again. -Steve

I've seen this map before and it would probably be extremely useful except that I have never been able to get it to work right. If I try to zoom in using the + button in the lower right-hand corner, all of the places-of-interest icons disappear and the map remains in its original scale. And...

Help a newbie out. Where is Tacos Brisas?
