We sure thought anything was possible back then...3 movie theaters in Puerto Penasco then! a yearor so before this video my brother and I raided our drunk dads pockets and bought a rifle from American rifleman for 12 bucks... weirdly another knucklehead elsewhere was buying the same gun http://www.jfkballistics.com/camelotscarcano.html

Penasco (or Sonora) was to provide the land and road. According to my Dad, who was there, when the UofA crew arrived they immediately asked, "Where is the road?" So someone jumped into a jeep, drove out to the site and back, and said, "ahi esta". Of course my Dad was known to make up a good story upon occasion. But, with how easy going Penasco was, not hard to believe. I think it was out by the Mirador area (at that time just sand).
