    What happened to red light green light going in?

    Went down this past Friday the 16th, no red light green light going in, it’s gone, no light. And they’re taking pictures of vehicles going in. They were checking every....single....vehicle. This is gonna cause massive delays. On a side note, I’ve never seen so many RV’s/Motorhomes going down...

    What happened to Sandy Beach?

    I've been a member here for some time and never really read an explanation of why Sandy Beach is not the Sandy Beach of the 80's-90's that I grew up on. I moved away from AZ in 1997 and returned in 2004 to be shocked when I went back down and there as no activity there. No trailers, tents...

    Went down 5/28-6/3/17.

    Went down on 5/28 and left on 6/3, family of 4. Crossed in 5/28 around 1:30, was a breeze, zero wait and got the green, 27 years in a row with multiple yearly visits. No problems to speak of other than I heard of a fatality at Lukeville, a young child, so sad. Hit Vasquez for bathroom break...

    Kinda odd request here, but it's worth a read.

    Ok, so family and I originally planned to come down this Monday. Well, I just found out the majority of our family reunion members booked to come down tomorrow, Sunday. So here's where I'm at. I need a place that can sleep 2 adults, 2 kids, has air conditioning, shower, and a bed plus a sleeper...

    Beach access

    Family and I are heading down Memorial Day, staying at a private home 2 blocks from Capones. We normally stay at a condo and have "instant" beach access. Sandy Beach, down by The Wrecked, is not what it used to be, (I'm going back many years here). Anyhow, where can a family go to get beach...

    Tamale hunt

    Coming down for the bike rally in a few weeks and I want to bring some tamales back. 2 years ago I found a guy that sells them out of his converted van or truck. I think he was on Sinaola, north of Fransciso Kino. He had his van on the west side of the road. The van didn't look like it had...

    Aerial map showing road names.

    Looking for a printable, fairly accurate aerial map that shows road names. I looked on line and I found one I liked, but I'm a little concerned to the accuracy. We are heading down in a couple weeks and although I practically lived there for years, we haven't visited since 2009. (We moved too...

    Sam's club and local impact to residents.

    Since I've been living under a rock for a few years, Lagrimas85 informed me there is a Sam's Club now. I would have never thought in all my years going down, since late 80's, that would ever happen. I'm curious as to the impact it has had on residents/jobs/business'/and restaurants. I know...

    Need help identifying this pottery seller, Hilda R. See pic's please

    Please see the pic's below. What seems like eons ago when we were down, more specifically June or so of 2008, I purchased a vase from a Sandy Beach seller. Or possibly from the backside of JJ's, down by the water where the vendors display their wares. I don't remember specifically I'm sorry to...

    It's been a while since I've chatted with Mark, was wondering if he's still around? We are heading down in a few weeks and I wanted to thank him personally for some information he gave me a few years ago.
