Hey guys, we are headed down for the weekend want to know if there are protesters blocking the road. Is there an up to date place to check the local conditions on social media?

I'm hearing all is good again, no protests and plenty of fuel available.

The issue would not come from Sonoyta but Mexicali near general strike could cause a trucker back up...and they could then block roads here ...to me it is best to give it a week

Again, the word I got is that trucks are moving into PP and Sonoyta from Mexicali unhindered. This without the Federal Police getting involved, so I wouldn't be all that concerned about it.

There was a protest earlier but as of now 6:30 pm Sat. all is open. Starting last Wednesday stations in Penasco were running out of gas by Friday most were out. If you go I would make sure you top off in Ajo or Why. We were promised more gas soon, whatever that means:-)

If you have lived in Mexico long enough, you know 'soon' means absolutely nothing.
