check out the new road in lobos. Oh yeah, the cutting board is 2 foot across so you can get an idea of the size of sea trout. They'll be finishing the road to lobos in a couple of months
Here's a couple of pics looking back from the new road, Leigh
Been wanting to head down there....my local buddy has talked about that place for a while. He's just been spending the last few months up in Phoenix with some medical issues.
Yep this is one in the same. If you go down on thanksgiving I'll be in he house just south of the light house , with the white f-250, stop and have a cold one Leigh
Leigh great pictures! I'm coming down to take some land pictures around the new year. Will you be down? Are there any restaurants down there you like?
Also has the road construction going South started toward Puerto Libertad?
No , iwon't be there then. Also there aren't really any so called restaurants and the beer store is open sometimes. There is very little there including water and no electricity.they have started on the road to liebertad but not very much and it is very bad even on a quad. Leigh

Man you have an amazing spot! About 10 years ago I had a chance to go partners with a mexican buddy on a house in Puerto lobos (I think it was 8 grand) Genius that i am I never checked it out because of the road issues..damn!..as I've mentioned before my friends invested in a proposed "green' development North of the Lighthouse and are now in a fight with the main partner.It is a real mess...about 25 people are in danger of losing big money.
I"ve been there since 1986. You really have to watch the tide as most of it is so shallow. You can go around bird island and anchor by the shrimp boats. L
Is Bernie still the light house keeper? Real nice man. I went down many years ago for the first time to fish for a week. One the the guys was a friend of Bernie. We stayed at the light house and Bernie would take us fishing every day. The only electricity was at Bernies. Watched the 7th game of the World Series. I feel in love with Mexico that week. Get used to warm beer.
Berna now is in Rockypoint taking care of the lighthouse there. If any one wants to do me a favor , if you go that way, tell berna Leigh from az. says hello. he's a very good friend.thanks Leigh
It is the same one. I've stopped there several times to talk to him and his boys. I've known berna for about 24 years. He used to watch our house when he lived in lobos . If you do talk to him could you ask him if he is coming back to Lobos? Rumor in Lobos is he is. Thanks Leigh
About how much further is it from the Caborca turnoff to Lobos? What is the road like....is it all paved? I'd like to run down there one of my Penasco trips to check it out.
The last time I went down a couple of weeks ago there was about 4 miles left to pave. They have the road done they just haven't opened it yet , 10 miles of dirt road that was not bad at all (bladed). It might be done by now. It's about a hour and a half from rocky point. Nice drive when you get past desemboque. You can stop and get Oysters from the farm for 20.00 per 100 if you get200. Awsome oysters as there is nothing for 40 or 50 miles either way down the beach. Tell them Leigh with the wishkey sent you and you might get a better deal. enjoy Leigh

Are you saying to go to Desemboqe, and then there is a road from there?
It all depends on which way you are coming from. If you go through lukeville you can go straight to caborca then over to yiega then towards Desemboque to the coastal highway. The road from yiega runs into the costal highway.. Hope this helps. If you come from Rocky point you take the road out by Los Conchos to cabborca but when you get to yiega take a right towards Desemboque to the new highway. Leigh
Looks like a great place for exploring with inflatables... March/April. Kenny/Jerry?
It surely does Don... Jerry and I have been talking about heading down that way for a long time, and with this post, it just came up again. We could use Jerry's place as a home base, it's not all that far from there.
