Summer visitor population has really changed in the past 10-15 years, After 4th of July Penasco would get pretty quiet and dead during Aug. With the Condo development that has all changed. It used to be 70% Americans and 30% Mexican national was the visitor ratio, now it's 50-50 and during the...

The wind forecast has changed a lot in 12 hours time with Fri-Sun looking, "No Bueno". Have to look again on Thursday to see how much it's changed. Compared to WU, Windy.com is a better site to get wind forecast info from.

Joe, I find weather forecasts pretty ?? more than 5-7 days out. Other than in the here in the desert "it's going to be hot", May-Sept. Friday looks windy but later Sat and Sunday might work.

In Cholla 20-25% of the homeowners don't pay the yearly HOA fee which is pretty affordable $160-200. They enjoy the scraped down roads and the police patrols in the community for free. Many don't pay the $70 garbage fee to Oomsil but they still pick up all garbage left out. Too many people can't...

I always use an ATM, using a Capitol One 360 debit card. No fees (other than the ATM fee of 30 pesos using a Banamex ATM) also got 18.05-1 last week at the ATM in Supernorte. Intercam also gives a decent exchange rate. I use this site to see where to get pesos...

Oh Boy, more people to fleece. And more $$ to watch vanish into a nice Penasco sunset. I'm 50/50 on this project, but it doesn't have a great track record so far.

We hit the border at 10 AM, usual Sonoyta cop had a Range Rover pulled over 100 yards past the little hill where the speed drops to 40kph, 5 lanes open with zero wait. I finally got to meet Mexico Joe and his girlfriend on our way out of Cholla. Super nice guy with a nice tricked out fishing...

Sandy Beach Resorts, part of the Gus Brown empire.

Both the Esmerelda and Casa Blanca are SBR projects, should be interesting how this plays out.

Using Telmex Idid a speed test at my house in Cholla got 8mbs down and .75mbs up. In Cholla Telmex has improved to where it's not too bad. I can even stream TV shows via Dish Anywhere. We'll see what happens this weekend to the speeds. If I lived in the areas where Telmex isn't connected yet...

Sure there are agents who do have an attitude and seeming go out of their way harass people crossing back into the US as JJ pointed out. But for the most part they are courteous to the thousands of people they see every day. When I cross, I employ the same attitude with all agents, I start...

I would hope they would talk about it at the next HOA meeting. Perhaps some CBHOA member will be there to ask about it. I heard that Penasco is very interested in getting water and (sewer??) to Cholla but need to find a funding source to do it. The water is a major issue because since early...

Hopefully the wind corporates, last 2 trips pretty windy. Saturday looks promising.

Another thorn in Esmerelda's thorn bush. The Cholla Bay HOA has a lien against the Esmerelda to ensure that water and sewer for Cholla are completed, since the Esmerelda was sold, what happened to the lien the Cholla Bay HOA had? Oh and I'm not holding my breath for the utilities to be completed,

There were a fair amount of people in town this weekend. So who knows? I hit the border at 9 AM with 3 lanes open, one car in front of me.:) So glad I left early this morning. Saw more than a few trucks or trailers dumping construction debris along Highway 8. Must be part of the beautify...

Audsley, Mid - Oct 2017 the wind was very calm, water was like glass for 8 out of the 10 days we were there, even in the afternoon when the wind usually picks up.

Sounds like the accident in front of the Esmerelda/Bella area at the beginning of Easter.

There is a lumber yard on just west of Rosie's restuarant, Mundo's Maderero, That stock windows and many other things. Another place besides Los Pinos. Sound's like Santana glass could help you out. There are a few others just Google it.

Rick, My local guy told me somebody in Penasco can order non-low-e dual pane windows from Mexicali. I will check with him today and let you know. You could get a hold of Lowery's glass to see if they will bring some in for you. FYI, Our neighbors in front of you Casa Blanca had many of their...
