    Tsunami warning

    I heard the tide in Penasco was very high- I have a report that last night it went about 10 feet linear feet above the old high tide line- closer to our house. I also heard the sand was washed out, but looks like it's being redeposited today. Any other updates.

    Sonoran Desert Tours

    Last weekend, we had a beautiful hike up Pinacate with a group from Sonoran Desert Tours. They took us about an hour into the park, where we started the hike that Father Kino took to the top of Pinacate and discovered that Baja California was a pennisula rather than an island. My husband and I...

    The Log from the Sea of Cortez

    His trip was in 1940 when Europe was engaged in war, my favorite paragraph is:""Let us go into the Sea of Cortez, realizing that we become forever a part of it; that our rubber boots slogging through a flat of eel-grass, that the rocks we turn over in a tide pool, make us truly and permanently a...

    ICE Pendajos. Passport or not.

    We brought back our daughter from Penasco and she forgot her passport. We explained the situation and it wasn't a problem- although we got a little lecture. What are they going to do?

    Three major Arizona-Mexico border stations

    He said waits have been reduced to 2 hour waits currently- well that's because no one is going down there! When they say expansion to 5 lanes, I hope that doesn't include the 2 lanes they open up currently!

    Crossing 10/4

    We hit the border at 6:00 on Sunday October 4th- 1.5 hour wait! 5 lanes open. I was glad to see more people in Penasco than we've seen for several months, but I wasn't happy about the wait. One of the lanes (over to the east side of the regular lanes) had a van COMPLETELY ripped apart- seats...

    Puerto Penasco Highland

    Here's an interesting video on a "planned community" in Bahia San Jorge called Puerto Penasco Highland. It looks like what they did in Dubai. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuxSj2RwB_k&feature=player_embedded#t=37 I'm curious how they'll get it approved with an environmental impact.

    "Glow in the Dark" Waves!

    We were down this past weekend, and on Thursday night at about 10:00 p.m. we saw the waves lit up. At first I thought it was the full moon, but then I remembered it was a new moon, so we realized they were lit up from algea or plankton. We took our dogs down to the water, and everywhere they...
