    Coming down for the season later this week - what is the current drill?

    We came across Tuesday from San Luis Rio Colorado and got the red light so they directed us over to the side and looked in the window and opened the back door, asked where we were going then that was it. Didn't see any police at all so it was a quick trip through town all the way to the...

    Anyone crossed at San Luis and taken Coastal highway down lately?

    Great, thanks everyone. I take it no one has had to stop on this route for any kind of Virus check, car misting, or Residency check (we will be bringing our property info, including utility bills paid etc and the HOA's notarized residence letter). We'll be going straight on Hwy 3 by Sandy...

    Anyone crossed at San Luis and taken Coastal highway down lately?

    We'll be driving down from the Palm Springs area the end of September to pay Federal Zone taxes for the Cholla place. We missed our due date when we couldn't cross the border during the lock-down earlier in the year, now we gotta get it paid. I've seen several trip reports from Lukeville but...

    Services in La Cholla

    We're never there in the summer, it's hardly anything the rest of the year. Same company all over RP, maybe someone else on here would know. We pay $34 for 1100 gallon fill up on water. I think we kinda get hosed because our neighbors with really giant tanks I think pay a fraction of that.

    Services in La Cholla

    We're out on Pinto Point in Cholla. In the old days it was strictly lanterns, and generators came on in the evening so we could watch a movie. That's been many many years now...although I miss it sometimes. Today we have electricity and telephone and internet. We do still truck in the water...

    Oven needs repaired

    OMG, 14 years without an oven and we finally called La Flamita and voila I can now bake a cake! This is really exciting as we live pretty simply when we're down here. Omar at La Flamita didn't have a car so Jeff and I went and picked him up and brought him out to Cholla. He totally cleaned...

    Oven needs repaired

    Don't suppose anyone can direct me to someone in RP who can fix an old O'Keefe & Merritt stove? I love this thing but the oven has never worked...maybe it’s the thermocouple (whatever that is..) or ????? If I can get it repaired I might even get some parts of it re-chromed; which leads me to...

    Columbus day weekend roll call and get togethers

    Jeff and I had a fun time last night; it was a great potluck ( and we learned how to make that delicious "dump-cake" of Barb's..that may be a very dangerous thing to know). Thanks, Ladyjeeper for all your work putting it together. The name tags were a good idea too. For anyone we met last...

    Columbus day weekend roll call and get togethers

    Ladyjeeper, I'm not an active poster but I do visit the forum often. We've had a place in Cholla since around '97 and are down here now from Seattle for the month of October. We would love to come for drinks or potluck Sunday to put names with faces. -Gail

    Telmex homel router out: Open on Saturday?

    Telmex just called us to say they had just repaired our internet line about an hour ago, so I know at least the repair department is open. You might try them; they just may have shorter hours Saturday. -Gail

    Telmex help

    Thanks, Well, sounds like I'll make a run at the Telmex office when we get down this week and see what happens. The problem I see with catching a wi-fi signal is identifying the person/house that the signal is be coming from in order to approach them. I'll post the outcome.

    Telmex help

    I'm wondering if anyone knows what the chance would be of Telmex allowing us to hook up a DSL modem for one month. We have a land line with them already for our Cholla Pinto Pt house -- that's I think about $15/mo. We're really only down for the months of Oct and May and very occassionally at...

    Rocky Point Beaches are better then California's because.........

    Ha, Rick, I was just reading this thread when I realized the "sidewalk exit" you're talking about is the sidewalk we put in in front of our house on Pinto Point. We live in Seattle and don't get down there as much as we'd like so it would be great if you're walking up the walk from your...

    AZ Daily Star front page article on shrimping business

    I found the article here: http://azstarnet.com/news/science/environment/article_7678132a-8f02-5804-b0cf-c416c3a0d2f0.html Sounds like it would be devastating to the RP shrimp fleet. Gail

    On the American Side

    It appears that the authorities can search us within 100 miles of the US border (where 2/3 of Americans live). The ACLU calls this "The Constitution Free Zone". See http://www.aclu.org/privacy/37293res20081022.html . Also this video is interesting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPOuj-WzAoA ...
