    Reverse migration

    After reading those articles, this 1980 incident wasn't nearly as dramatic as originally described. Additionally, it mentions that it all blew over and the research continued. Maricopa County residents are no strangers to SWAT teams. Sheriff Joe brings them in (along w/ news crews) every time...

    Territorial Cup 2013

    Thanks everyone, might be time to give Lat 31 a chance since we're staying at Las Conchas, will be much closer than JJ's. I've been meaning to ever since that thread anyway. I can live without HD as long as they've got the game.

    Territorial Cup 2013

    We'll be in RP for Thanksgiving weekend and that means finding a spot to watch ASU vs UofA is a must. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but this year the game happens to be on Pac12 Network, which means no Directv coverage. Does anyone know if any bars down there have Dish Network or any...

    Church Services in Peñasco?

    I've got some family coming down for the first time ever over Thanksgiving weekend and they never miss a Sunday service. Is that church in the old port a Catholic Church? I think the name is Has anybody ever been and know what time mass might be?

    Al Capone's

    IMO Capone's has the best service of any restaurant in RP, with Mar Blu a close second. My food has always been fresh and the staff has always been accommodating. We were there one night and the owner was sitting next to us and gave us some great recommendations as well. It's become a given that...

    New Forum Software

    New interface looks good and is definitely much faster. Thanks to everybody who spends time and money keeping the site running. I know this software isn't cheap, not to mention recurring hosting and domain registration costs. This site invaluable for any RP regulars.

    Latitude Survey

    Something about the look of the place always turned me off, not sure why. But after reading about how many people seem to enjoy it, I'm going to stop by for breakfast and give it a try. I go to Max's and La Cita too much and need to branch out a little more.

    Rental activity in Winter

    Winter is hit or miss... We were down for new years 3 or 4 years ago and were laying out on the beach. Weather was amazing. Going to head down for Thanksgiving weekend this year and keeping my fingers crossed.

    Military Cehck point hurting Rocky point

    I had no idea how dangerous that is, thanks for the warning. I'll be sure to slow down next time. Is this issue that people (like that semi in the photo) are cutting into the main road heading into and out of town? That's the new turn off for Sandy Beach and the Coastal Highway, right?

    Sandy Beach Resorts pool and amenities question

    Pink Cadillac has a pool? I've been going to that place since the late 90's (although it's been a while) and never noticed that.

    Las Palomas Question

    Sorry I've been out of the country for the last few weeks... Unfortunately I still don't have a place in RP, but I did get some information about LP, although I still haven't heard from a lot of owners. They have a new property management company that is very well respected and based in AZ...

    Vegas flights

    This is correct unless aeromexico has a presence in Austin and would be willing to check them in there, which I doubt. I would consider changing the SW flight to get them to Vegas earlier since SW doesn't charge change fees. Even a 30 minute delay could cause a huge headache for you and your...

    Vegas flights

    Where are they originally flying from? They might be able to check in w/ aeromexico at their original destination. Otherwise you might want to see if southwest has an earlier flight. I know southwest doesn't charge for change fees. They could even come in the night before and get a cheap hotel...

    Vegas flights

    Kea- As long as the Southwest flight is on time or no more than 20-30 minutes late, then they will be fine. Any later, and it's trouble since this is the only flight to Penasco. As for Jet Purple, that is a proposed airline out of Scottsdale, AZ not related to the Vegas flights that your...

    Nice article, but it's too bad the author got conned by the boomerfest nonsense.

    More Beer!

    I've noticed this has already loosened up some over the years in Penasco, but here is some more great news for all of us beer drinkers that travel Mexico! Big Mexican brewers forced to open local beer market - Yahoo! Finance

    hassled again on my way back into US

    Yeah must have been around the same time... 90 minute wait when the temps are around 110 is not much fun. I wondered aloud to the rest of the people in my car how much it would cost for a police escort to the front of the line.
