I drove the Devil's Spine years back, at night from Durango down to Matzatlan. Some of the most beautiful country in all of Mexico with a switchback highway just like the Alps. That road would have hosted an incredible cross country race. The log trucks drove at night because they had to use...

Check out the beach photo , sin legend, used to promote the event on the beach !!

While I agree in principle to support the indigenous folk, there have been some reports that the Panga fishermen on the Baja have been the most destructive force on the reefs. Working day and night harvesting tons of various reef dwelling creatures. I have read an opinion that the worst thing...

Bougainvillea grows like a weed once established. They take very little water to grow. I had at least 40 vines at my house. The thorns are brutal, making pruning hazerdous. If you want a beautiful security perimeter plant them close and interweave the vines. Better than razor ribbon and much...

Lots of tension in the air in parts of Penasaco. Take care coming into town.

Approach with care, lots of care. There are lots of abandoned units in several of these developments. Drive up and see. Believe it is not possible to get clear ownership, irrespective of what they tell you. Spoke to one owner who wanted to sell but had no clear ownership although he was assured...

Yes , the are actually asking for money, that's what is happening !!

Thinking about building one of these myself while my friend and master builder Pete is still alive up in NM. build don a trailer, would maybe pass as an RV at the border and could be brought down and set up permanently. http://www.tumbleweedhouses.com/

Great stuff. Thanks for posting.

And during that period there will be little to no maintenance on the existing road. I'm taking the route through Sonoyta to Kino next. This is not good for the Sonora Only program to improve tourisim along the coast.

I have quite a few photos taken up at the mine and the road up as well as the stamping mill site at the estuary. About what year was your visit? Do you have any photos from your visit? Was the stamping mill there when you visited? It was down in the estuary about 1/4 mile from the hacienda...

Rabble Rouser !!

Any news today???? Photos??? I heard a rumor that they were loading rocks and hauling them away from the pier !! Also heard that Russ is stealing rocks for his rock garden at his house. Also heard that the blasting stopped because they discovered gold and want to mine it. Can anyone confirm...

Not by air at least!!

I miss the old pry off bottle tops and cans that required a beer opener. Simple. One end for pop off tops and one end for cans. They came in so many interesting shapes and from virtually every beer company. You had to keep a couple in the glove box of your vehicle. You could use the gas cap on...

Whoopsie.

Just FYI, you can rent a car, mini van or full size van here if you want to make some day trips. Mas o minus $40 for 24 hours for a compact, no idea how much the vans but you can call. They might give you a break for a weekly rental. Bufalo Car rental. 638-888-9999

I'm 99.9 % sure there are in fact NO regularly scheduled flights into Penasco from anywhere in Mexico or the US or anywhere else. Charters have flown in from Mexico loaded with vacationing tourists last year. Have heard nothing this year.

Spoke to some people today who purchased a building lot 8 or 9 years ago for $50K. Today they have no idea where the lot was located and are searching for it. If anyone has information post it here.
