Sounds like Sonoyta must be a hot spot for what ever they are searching cars for.

Thx Russ, I'll check it out next trip down. I looked at the Telcel site (in Spanish) but can't figure out cost and data amounts.

I wonder if they're doing it at other border crossings, Ex. San Luis, Nogales, Tijuana? The answer would possibly help determine what's going on.

Thx, Roberto. No phone line, and I heard Telmex is not installing any new lines in Cholla as well, but need to find out for sure. Somehow managed to go 10 years borrowing neighbors Wi-Fi or using my phone as a mobile Hotspot to have internet. Wife is going to retire soonish and would love to...

Has anyone had Telmex internet installed recently? I want to install it at my place in Cholla and have been told there is a waiting list for it. Anyone experienced this, I would appreciate any info. Thanks

During the summer lot's of small pea sized jelly fish in the water. At Laguna shores a few years ago my kid's were playing in the water for 45 minutes before the tide receded and were covered in small welts when they came out. Same thing at Encanto last year in mid-June. It hasn't been a...

I have missed that checkpoint so far. But going back into the US there is a Mexican army/marines? check point next to the Insurance building in the middle of the road 150 feet from the Mexico customs area. They have been checking every 3rd car for awhile now, almost all RV's, trailers. They...

This design would make it hard for all those people to hitch rides on top for free. And think of all the lawsuits the owner would have from families of people who fell off it while going 250-300 mph. ;) OK, actually a great idea for RP, Mexic0 and a lot of places in the USA.

100K max size allowed here, I sure wish they would up the size to 400K.

Rick, would send me a PM with the size and approx cost of it. By the way from my place it looks pretty impressive way up there.:) If you haven't done so already, get it sprayed for termites, they are everywhere all the houses in front of you mine included have been hit hard by them. They...

Rick, Most of the wood used for palapa's in RP comes from Coborca, I'm told it's pricey. If you find a RP source let me know because a palapa is on my to do list next year.

Yeah, but the police don't do bribes/mordida because they need to supplement their paychecks. In the US they demand Overtime. I'd rather deal with the crawl rather than deal with the idiots driving 80 to 100 mph in Phx. Dirtsurfer, I hear you.

Roberto, good idea, But we are in Cholla, no city water, we have 5 1100L for 2 houses tanks, which now serves us fine, If and When city water gets here is anyones guess.

Pretty much, business as usual. Glad I added an extra 1100 L tank.

I drove through Sonoyta going to RP and saw only one 60 kph sign and 1 block south all were 40 kph, we took the short cut just past the bridge so I don't know about the stretch on the main road through town. We did the 25mph crawl and had a Policia pass us after following us for 1/2 mile...

Water flow to fill up the trucks in Cholla continues to be a big problem, Thurs morning and no water flowing .

You have it dialed in and sounds like a great choice of installers. I covered my tubing since I had to run the lines along my bathroom ceiling. Because of the 12" tall bond beam in my house. The duct cover kit was $80. Here's a pic of the plastic. I might contact you for their number if I have...

Russ, why was the install so much? (1600 pesos, OK not that much). My installs usually cost me 700 pesos, the last one was pretty involved but still only 800 pesos. I gave him 1200 pesos because he had to hammer drill through 3 walls, install an outside bracket wall mount and install 9 feet of...

Those numbers are totally wrong, almost 30,000 people were killed in all of Mexico, you need to wade through all the inaccurate Headline grabbing articles. Per CNN article: "In Guerrero -- the state where Acapulco is located -- murders rose to 2,316 last year, about the same as 2016, but up...
