The latest info on the four dead bodies found at km post 35 on Mex. Hwy.8, is that they were from Caborca, one being the son of a wealthy doctor.

jerry - You are absolutely correct. Prohibition only serves to make incredible profits for those involved, fatten the pockets, and corrupt those at all levels of government. The Kennedy family built its wealth on prohibition liquor, drugs and prostitution. The only thing we learn from history is...

Execution squads on the loose, drug dealers openly carrying fully automatic weapons (From China, Cuba, Colombia, and Venezuela - NOT from the US), common theives stealing anything in sight at the blink of an eye, and prohibiting law abiding individuals from carrying Mace and pepper spray makes...

rplarry - Most of these guys sell the same stuff. We all have our favorite that we have dealt with for a number of years. However, any of these vendors who tells you that their shrimp is "fresh" is not being completely honest. Virtually all of the shrimp sold on the Malecon has been previously...

rplarry -It's because they like their vehicles, and prefer to keep them in sight.

"...lost our passport... ". Passports are issued to an INDIVIDUAL, not to a group. "...i would take the chance again" What chance? Admission to the US cannot be denied to US citizens. It just may take some time to prove that you are a US citizen if you do not have a US passport.

The sea food vendors aren't at all happy with the revisions to the Malecon, especially the loss of parking. The impact is already apparent, according to the posts on this thread, and from my recent observations. A lot of money has been spent on at least three re-constructions of the malecon, and...

In the case of the three murdered women, two were first murdered, the sister of one was then lured by the murderers, and subsequently murdered. The two murdered sisters were from Hermosillo.

Over the Thanksgiving holiday, a male corpse was discovered by Americans riding in the dunes near Cholla Bay. There was a bullet wound in the head. They were told that it was the body of a police officer.

chubasco - Interesting. Several errors in the article. The bodies were dumped at the 35 km marker post, NOT 28km. The bodies were in plain view of traffic on the highway, being approximately 20 feet east of the edge of the highway, NOT 20 meters. The bodies were not decomposed. The bodies were...

Roberto - Sorry, I should have written: "Their beard growth and condition of their bodies..."

Stuart - The bodies were spotted on the east side of the highway 2PM Saturday. It is unlikely that they would be left there until Sunday. Their beard growth suggested that they were held captive for several days, tortured, executed in another location, and their bodies dumped along the east side...

BRILLIANT, Ernesto!

Heading north to the border from Penasco this afternoon on Highway 8. At approximately 2PM, at kilometer post 35, my wife and I noticed what appeared to be some clothing dumped on the right (east) side of the highway. My wife commented that she thought she saw a man laying there, but didn't...

This doesn't only happen to US citizens. I know of two Mexican citizens who have recently had their B1/B2 Laser Visas yanked at the border by BCP agents. One woman was with her 14 year old daughter. When the agent scanned her visa, he told her that she had a US Social Security number, in...

Since my original post, Jocelyn is still waiting for a compatible kidney, and her health has degraded to the point that she can no longer attend school. She spends time between her home, and the Social Security hospital across the street from the Telmex office, downtown. She receives dialysis...

When I drive down, I watch the outside temperature on the thermometer in my car. At Lukeville, the temperature may be 104 degrees, or so. Approaching Penasco, the temperature drops to around 93, but it is still a killer with the high humidity.

Tom - The tourist areas can be the most dangerous! Just like bank robbers go to the banks because that's where the money is, tourist areas are where the money is! You cheat yourself if you confine your activities only to the tourist areas. Enjoy all of Penasco. Check out the downtown area where...

It's not so much the temperature, but the humidity. The same 93 degrees that is tolerable in Arizona is almost unbearable in Penasco due to the high humidity. August and September seem to be the most uncomfortable months. However, the comfort (discomfort) index can change from day-to-day...

ernesto - Have empathy for the locals, many of whom have no B1/B2 Laser Visas, and cannot escape to the US, like tourists. You don't think that tourists have a pompous attitude because they have an immediate escape route available to them, not available to the locals? Locals are trapped at the...
