Right Joe. I don't feel for us as much as I do the good folks in Sonoyta who have to get from north to south or vice versa. How about the ones who live south and need to come to the states for their work? It's just a mess for everyone involved.

Do you need the permits to go that way? I'm planning on doing that Wednesday.

Welcome Wards.... This site, in between the Rants & Raves has a ton of good info on RP and the situation to get there. If you look back you will see all kinds of threads about this situation. This and Facebook...Sonoyta Detour Updates will give you all you need. Most of the time, anyawy...

Here's another quote from the Sonoyta Detour Facebook page. "The Gila River drains the central and eastern portions of the planning area. Within the planning area boundaries, the Gila River extends from Gillespie Dam, located approximately 45 miles southwest of Phoenix, to the Colorado River...

OK Inka... I did see a resevoir on a ADWR website earlier and it looked to be near Sells. According to the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) the Rio Sonoyta is included in Rio Sonoyta Watershed and is fed directly by the San Simon Wash and Western Mexican Drainage Basin. Here is a...

Ya know what...You're not all bad Kenny....:puff: This is me dancin.....

Inka...I totally agree with you. I did the same thing with Google Maps and looked all over the area and found nothing to resemble a big lake or resevoir. I think the amount of water that has come through would have drained Patagonia Lake by now...so what gives? We know it's not rain so where...

Now Terry says they just got a call from a lady who says she is stuck at the Circle K. Who knows what is going on. This is plain rediculous.

Terry C just posted on the Sonoyta Detour site that it is open now. I tried to find a dam on the wash and the river and can't find anything. I did see there is a resevoir up in AZ on one wash, but can't tie it in. I guess the road from Caborca in is having flooding problems also. I sure...

Stop...Stop....are you kidding me? I don't stop!!!!!!!

bummer......

Terry...Thanks for posting this. One never knows when, so should I go down there, after the party, my wife will know what to do.

Did you say the police are on strike. ON STRIKE???? Good God Almighty, I'm free at last. Look out stop lights, stop signs and anything else in my way....I'm on my way. See ya'll Wednesday...but be carefull. Be very carefull.

Once in a lifetime..heck I've been through three of them already.

New Report from Sonoyta Detour. https://www.facebook.com/SonoytaDetourUpdates

Good News, Sonoyta Detour Updates reports the following. Hopefully these storms are gone for awhile and we can get back to normal, whatever that is. Please hold on until next Wednesday after that let it rain and I'll just have to stay down there.

Good call Roberto...It is called the San Simon Watershed. I hope it works out where you can see it. It runs north to south east of Why, and through to Mexico. It has a bunch of washes spilling into it. It appears to join the Rio Sonoyta to the east of town. So my guess is that by watching...

I guess it's safe to say that the water would run from north to south going east to west through Sonoyta and turning to the south again.

Meanwhile back to the detour deal. Does anyone know where that wash, creek, river originates? I would think one could predict the crossability by watching the radar rainfall upstream and get a pretty good snapshot of what will be going on there in the next few hours or even days. For example...

That surprises me because he usually comes through Nogales to get there. He usually goes back through Lukeville.
