I've always wondered what the impact would be to Puerto Penasco if the tourist stopped coming. Now, I guess I know. They had a segment on one of the morning shows today with images of how vacant it was. And a few interviews with local business owners on their thoughts. Neither seemed too...

My wife received a call from Patty's daughter Margret, that on August 13th Patty has finished her journey here and is on to her next. Didn't get into details, but appears to be nothing other than age catching up to her. I know that people had some rough dealings with her business, after her...

Kind of surprised that this hasn't been brought up already. Arrived in Cholla Monday 27th, with plans to ring in the New Year at JJ's one last time before the shutdown/remodel. Mon-Tues-Wed were great days and was able to get a bunch of those "I'll get around to it" jobs completed, or made...

How less crowded things were this weekend. Staying in Cholla and not going into RP, I can't speak for that. But from around the Cholla area to Wrecked things were sparse. Selfishly, must say I enjoyed it, especially with October being one of the best times of year to visit. The real kicker...

Just wanted to see what everyone use's for a credit card in RP. I'm just not comfortable using our Chase Bank Debit card. Would like one separate from my US banking account that can be loaded with funds then charged on until empty. Should I just be using the ones they sell at the check out...

Coming down for the holiday weekend, what's the weather been like, still hot, humid, or maybe cooling off a little.

Don't see it advertised much, but the OBSC out of Cholla is having another Poker Run come this Saturday 5-21-16. Went for the first time last Thanksgiving and had a blast. We ran our Rhino, and wondered if it was going to be some kind of race, not at all. Had all kinds of ohv's in it. You...

Just received this little reminder from the HOA, and for the most part seems pretty legit as they are right, it's the way it's done in the US. Probably where the similarities end as well. So with all this attention to detail, permit wrangling and of course a boost to the Penasco business...

So the wife and my MIL do a quick couple day turn around to take care of property taxes, check on the cabin and a little R&R. Everything has gone well and it's time to head home. As has been in the past, they loaded up the heafty bags to dump off at the garbage corral, right across from the...

Have some friends looking to purchase a place in this gated development. It's located among some other similar developments behind Sam's Club area. Anyone know anything about these, is it a nice rainbows and lollipop type of place, or some kind of weigh-station for the drug cartels?

Last time we were down we had pretty much exhausted our propane, but being as we were leaving we thought we'd just wait and fill it when we come back for Memorial weekend. In the mean time we've been talking to some neighbors that informed us that the gas guys won't put in $80-$100 dollars...

The Cholla Bay land trust issues has finally taken a turnfor the better… I hope. The current newsletter from the Cholla HOA had a very interesting article pertaining to thislong standing problem, and over the weekend I was able to meet with thearticles author. It was certainly refreshing and...

In my circle of friends, when ever the topic of Mexico comes up they turn to my wife or I for advise. I had a few thrown out at me the other night and want to make sure that what I'm saying is correct. These are friends that go a few times a year and usually buy their insurance at any one of...

I usually bring fuel ( super unleaded ) with me for my toys when coming down. Last time I came they tagged me at the border, and ended up paying. Do you guys that live down there think the fuel purchased in town has the same octane level as fuel purchased state side? Should I be adding a...

Arrived at the border Wednesday 10th bout 9:00pm with a light rain, and gusty winds. The US guards poked their heads out of their parked vehicles and waved us through. Crossing was about the same thing, a quick glance over and waved us through. After a quick stop for some taco's at...

What am I doing wrong. I wirte a couple paragraph response, click submit, then get a message that I can't perform this action, and need refresh and log on again.

Below is an e-mail I received from my brother-in-law. It's a friend of his and is legitimate, but I have ommited the names for their protection. The question is, who do you report this to? Does the Rocky Pt. police have authority over Cholla police? My son told me the following story...

I keep my toys year round at my cabin, and mostly do all the maintaince myself. But I have a Suzuki Sidekick I'd rather take someplace to do the oil, and greese the zerks. Is there a Q-lube or Minute-lube type place in Rocky Pt. that anyone knows of?

Arrived at the border just about 8:00am and already backing up. Came to a stop at the incline across from the Wendy's hamburger joint. Had a +/- 1 hour wait, and when I finally got to the line the BP guard was actually in a good mood.
