Nevertheless though, for anyone reading this please do not let what happen to me detract others from visiting and enjoying Puerto Penasco, especially the Mare Blu and Wrecked at the Reef. It is a great place, just be alert, aware of your surroundings, and as informed as possible about your...

Maybe I should clarify, because it wasn't mentioned in my post but this went on for a good 15 minutes with the two security guards stating to me that the police were going to be called and they would have me ticketed for trespassing. They refused to relent while I was in the fenced in area. I...

Hey, just a word of caution for those that may be walking by this area especially for those who haven't been back to Rocky Point since work started on the port. Last night, I strolled down Sandy Beach to have dinner at the lovely restaurant next to Wrecked at the Reef as I have in times past...

When is the Presidente coming if you know?

I live up here in Arizona and run a small legal business doing paralegal work and will be coming down to Rocky Point more than likely later this week to spend a few days in my favorite vacation spot in Mexico. In any event, I am also a Notary Public in Arizona and wanted to offer my notary...

Exactly, well said Stuart and thank you for making others aware of this who may not have been. I haven't heard of Border Patrol enforcing Customs regulations before, but given the way things have been with ICE it certainly would not surprise me.

IE 11 caused too many problems for me that I had delete the update and go back to 10. I'm to the point now where I may just be switching to Chrome full time. Internet Explorer now only accounts for 55% of browsers used, which isn't surprised given how Microsoft has really let it fall to...

I saw photos taken of the helicopters themselves in the air, but I didn't see any where there was ammunition actually being deployed.

In the CNN story, if you don't catch it correctly, the reporter almost makes it sound like there were American tourists who took photos of helicopter gunships shooting at the cartel.

Here is KVOA Channel 4 in Tucson's report on the Fast and Furious connection to Puerto Penasco: http://www.kvoa.com/news/gun-used-in-rocky-point-shootout-traced-back-to-fast-and-furious/

I think this is yet another reason in justifying the force that was used so the odds were overwhelming to take out those cartel members that day. Had not enough force and not enough soldiers been used that morning, and Macho or other members slipped away, that too could prove catastrophic in...

This is very true, Alaskans love their fish! I was stationed up there and had my fair share of fish. The halibut is absolutely incredible as well as the king salmon which smokes very well in a smoker. That's why I think when I come down to Puerto Penasco I always try to get more than my fair...

That's my mistake linking my comment to include the entire state of Sonora, so my apologies. I think about how nice it is when I visit to have almost the entire beach to myself, but at the same time I think to myself how I live visiting my favorite restaurants and places to shop and understand...

You completely missed my point Joe. I was not debating the War on Drugs, structure of the Cartel, or the DEA's involvement in Mexico. I was talking about public perception of what is going on in Rocky Point. Regardless of whether or not you or I believe the violence in Rocky Point is...

Joe, I understand what you are saying and don't disagree, but this is not the story that is being portrayed in the media. Given what Americans are being told and believe about what happened in Rocky Point, that has to be taken into consideration. What if the media had been reporting that Macho...

I believe comparing the violence in Mexico/Rocky Point to that of the violence in the USA/Arizona can be very difficult and can be like comparing apples to oranges with correlation problems. There might be more crime in Mexico, but could a lot of that be more petty crimes like vehicle theft and...

You summed up my feelings on the whole situation quite well and I have to echo your comments. I believe to do nothing and leave Macho in Sandy Beach, could have seen the entire area get bad over time. Plus, if it was well known that authorities were "letting" Macho live where the American...

I live outside of Fort Huachuca which is where the Buffalo Soldiers were based out of. Fort Huachuca has a great museum in three separate buildings if anyone likes history like I do. We're also about 20 miles from Tombstone, so there are some neat things for visitors to see in this corner of...

I've been wondering myself, because the prices for a night along Sandy Beach back here in Arizona don't seem to be falling at all. I don't know if the condos are filling up or not, but it sure doesn't look like the rates have changed.

Do you think it could have possibly been the other way around? Could Mexican authorities, both federal and local, have carried out this operation the way they did because they wanted to send a message to Americans in Puerto Penasco: That we will not tolerate cartel members moving into your...
