New overpass

Long overdue!

http://rockypoint360.com/new-overpass-to-provide-added-safety-along-highway/

+1 on that.

I'mmmmmmmmmmmmmm surrrrrrr............

That those greasy grimy pot bellied pistol brandishing peckers AKA RP Policia road block bastardos will still find a way the set up shop and fleece the incoming Gringos at that intersection.

Still makes me sick to my stomach that we had to deal with those criminal s#it suckers last month. Talk about a great way to bring back the good old days with the money packing Gringo tourists. Was kinda thinkin those disgusting incidents were gonna be a thing of the past, you know with the new "NO HASSLE ZONE" ya right!

Can you imagine the visions of wonderment coursing thru their greedy cabezas when they spot a rig with toys in trail like mine?

Everybody that I mentioned that incident to has now put RP back on the don't-ever-go-to s#it list with good reason. There is no reason that "EL Jefe" in RP can't police his own police and you know damned good and well that he has some well meaning snitch from this blog that feeds him all of the latest chatter.

Just saying,

The cops in Sonoita have been brutal on us for a year now. My friend got a ticket for "running a stop sign" when he was stopped and the third car in line. He hadn't even got to the stop sign he was supposedly running. I have been pulled over 4 times for "speeding" when I never drive faster than the posted speed limit.

When you see how slow road work is accomplished it does make you dread this project but is a good sign they are serious about doing the infrastructure upgrades necessary for the homeport.

Almost a positive statement, so close...

I know it felt weird....but to clarify, since the homeport is a turd that will sink we might as well get something out of the abomination

Now that's the Jerry we know and love.

So an over pass goes up at the intersection, does that mean the coastal highway up grade to the airport and beyond gets put on hold.. no money now to finish it ...ha ha ha

There gonna dock some smaller cruise ships there too Jerry!

Lemmiee tella you another guaranteed screw de Gringo spot...................

El Golfo de Santa Clara, the sleepy little shit hole and first stop south on the so called "Coastal Highway". Pull into that berg and you will have one or more of the only two policia pickups on yer ass the instant you pass their clubhouse which is next door to the Pemex station. They have deliberately hidden or removed every stop sign on the boulevard and are right there on your ass waitin for you to screw up. We usually stop on the way home to buy a couple of hundred fresh clams and have made sort of a game outa dealin with the greedy shits. First is to simply FIND a stop sign. Half don't even exist, the other half are quite creative in their placement. One hangs from the inside doorway wall of a tortilla shop and is blocked from sight when they pull down their steel door. Another is screwed the windshield of a junk van where clam sellers store their sack loads. We have even stopped and got out at an intersection to search for the elusive alto sign and then had the bastardos fire up the flashing lights and give us shit about blocking traffic when they are the only other vehicle on the road. If you manage to do the half mile tour, turn around and head back you will then be forced over for a search at their permanent road block before entering the highway. We beat that game by taking a side road in town to the east and just cross the desert back to the highway.

I know that dealing with these crooks is a laugh when you get home, if you get home and part of "la aventura y sabor de Mexico" but it really does suck!

Jim you crack me up....not sure if Hunter S. Thompson is really dead after all

Jungle Jim, just stop at the crossroads you jackass'

Sooooooooo Russs.................

Well then, you must be one of the jackasses that shells out dinero to those feeeeelthy roadside banditos, which is why they are there in the first place, always looking for a sign of weakness, especialamente con los Gringos estupidos.

I've heard it a million times, they just do it to feed their pobrecito familias. Right! I see em all the time in their brand new Ford Lobos with Sonora plates, here in Yuma at Sam's Club, Wal Mart, the mall and of course our local gun store.

A few years back they busted the big El Jefe from the San Luis Sonora sector for guess what of all things...movin drugs into and weapons out of... Yuma Arizona!! He had five big new houses with a wife and kids in each one!!! The dumb bitches claimed that they didn't have a clue! Right, that's why the DEA took todos los casas and all of their vehicles anyway.

The big quesos get a cut of every peso los pollos chickitos collect on the highways, just like the miserable shits selling the krap on the beaches, and what I wrote earlier about la policia policing la policia was sarcasm. That is just plain old Mexican style acceptable steady income for the whole troop, just like hookin, thievin and screwing all of you that "invest" in Mexican properties.

Just sayin,

So I'm assuming you don't go to Mexico ??

Hey Vern...............

I happen to have a place just behind el restaurante Capones, go there twice a month or more for four or five day weekends, all year long, haul my toys down or just leave them there.

I usually dump a thousand bucks or more per trip into the RP economy.

I've been hangin out there since the 70's, most everybody knows me or knows of me: "Jungle Jim" aka "Mr. Willy" the Willys Jeep Parts guy with the big Ford 4x4 trucks.

I've worn out three boats fishing and diving outta RP in that time.

I own 20 meters of dock space where El Intrepid ties up and have since I paid Joel to build it for me.

I used to camp on the north end of Sandy Beach when the only "structure" on that whole stretch was a shit and piss smellin shack called "The Reef".

I used to haul my center console Super Panga "Toadfish" down there and launch it from the primitive so-called boat ramp where the rocks begin. We used to dive there and do scuba classes from that beach and my boat. Used to make the thirty mile run west to depth and blue water in that boat and bring back big Dorado and Sailfish.

I used to take the overflow divers from the Island Explorer to Isla San Jorge on my Scout center console "Wet Willy". Those poor souls never had a clue of how shitty the run back to RP could be.

I used to lease a condo and had them build be a 20' x 60' pull-thru garage for my boat and toys at the Desert Oasis before they went tits-up like everything else in RP.

I NOW conduct salt water operations from my fish killin Sea Pro walk around cuddy cabin "Hammer Time"with twin Yamies, a 150 gallon fuel tank and racks for ten scuba tanks.

I am a contributor of many fishing adventures to Gene Kira's "MEXFISH.COM" as is your moderator "STUART".

If YOU go to Mexico, you might want to ask around since your ass-you-me is entirely without merit.

Just sayin,

Jim speaking as a fellow realist and someone with a load of pesos in this crooked card game myself it amazes me when these american-locals try to hide all the bad news.....At this point I have told my friends not to design/build down in my area or buy into the sandy beach stuff....breaks my wallet but not my friendships...

That's what I was thinking Russ. By the way he talks, you would think the policia would have all of his money by now ?? By the way Jim, loading up right now to head down.

I do what I want!

No Hobie....

I never go down on a holiday weekend. Way too many crazies for my laid back lifestyle.

This weekend I'll be riggin up the boat and fishing tackle for a serious meat run next weekend. I've got five wolf hi-breeds that just love-a-de-feeeshy.

Maybe we can meet to cook-em up at Capones?

Work has started on the overpass. Came by yesterday about 10:30 am. Boring holes and setting caissons.

Yeah -- it definitely looks like they're under way. Good timing, based on the apparent (significant) return of visitor traffic to Penasco as of late.

Took the road home yesterday via the Sandy Beach, the road that takes you via the Coastal Highway to El Golfo.
Got to where the overpass work has started and found there aren't any easy ways to head north.
You have to head south for 1/4 mile and then hang a U-turn to go north.

Anyone towing a large trailer would be better off taking Ocana or the old Cholla road to BJ and then head north.

Also when I hit the border at 3:30 there was a 1/2 mile line which turned into a 2 hour wait because the Sonoyta police had lead a group of over
100 vehicles from the rear of the line in the right lane to be merged with all of us who had been waiting for the previous hour.
A lot of very pissed off people who were patiently waiting in the main line, were cursing at the policeman who didn't know how to count
because the new RH lane moved 3 cars to the 2 from the original line.
You can guess which line I wasn't in. :mad::mad::mad::mad:

We got there yesterday at 11:50 and waited 25 mins. They only had 2 lanes open??

For what it is worth, we got there today at 11:40 and the wait was down to 10 minutes. So (Memorial week?) traffic is dissipating.

The Border wait website showed 1 lane open with a 50 minute wait at 3PM, it never was updated in the 2 hours I spent sitting in line.
When I finally came to the inspection booths there were 4 lanes open, I was asked where I was going and scanned my passport, it took 30 seconds.

Came in last night and seems its progressing well...
