    September Nights

    Many times before electric came into Cholla in the late 90's and camping on Sandy beach, the only way to get to sleep in June-Oct was to drink a lot of beer and pray the generator didn't run out of gas at 5am.

    September Nights

    During the day it's tolerable, some wind, shade and going into the ocean make it OK. But it's going to be pretty warm when you try to sleep. The humidity is going rise into the 60-70% range at night. So with temps close to 90 before midnight cooling off to 80 only before dawn you'll still be...

    Electricity Costs

    Bill, The key to my $300 per year cost estimate is the amount of days we will spend there. Currently around 50-60 days per year. I figure we will add another 50-80 days per year with only a few in June-Sept. In the May 19 bill we were there 24 days from late Mar-May our bill was 154 Peso's or...

    $20-30k for Solar, the pay back is terrible for most and there's a big possibility the $$ panels will walk away when were gone. We have a place in Cholla. We've spent an average of $80-100 per year for electricity over the past 5 years (using propane for cooking and water heaters). We have 2...

    Forget Real Estate in Rocky Point

    So glad I own houses in the USA, nice and steady growth. Buy in a good area like Scottsdale and PV and don't have to worry as much. Property in Penasco for the tourists during the last downturn had to be almost given away in order to sell. Sad.

    MICE

    The rainy fall and winter has produced a few dozen prairie dogs in my front yard. My neighbors hate them, my 3 cats I bring with us are totally entertained by them, looking through the patio doors at each other.

    Port ready yet?

    Where is the money going to come from? For every $ they spent on it, some how only received 30-40% in actual work. Too many hands are grabbing the $ before it actually can be used to pay for the Port. That's just the reality of this so far. If this ever gets finished, I'm OK with that.

    Tucson TV

    I was also wondering if any TV stations from Yuma, Tucson or San Diego are available via antenna. I was going to try with a 150-200 mile range antenna. (but read at 75 miles, signal becomes iffy at best) Before the switch from Analog to Digital we could PU stations in Yuma with a cheap antenna...
