I'd expect nothing less from a snarky liberal .
Stuart
Kenny is my friend. I have other very liberal friends. The trick to remaining friends over many, many years?

Put politics aside and concentrate on why you're friends in the first place. In my case, it's usually the love of fishing and the outdoors. Fish don't know or talk politics.

So beaches are open down south but if you own a house in Penasco you can't even get into town, the day the mayor is waiting for is here, read on Facebook there's many new cases, maybe life knows how many.Screenshot_20200701-150745.pngScreenshot_20200701-150745.png

Those that still don't believe at this point are more susceptible with their risky behavior. Not all bad. Just nature's way of thinning the herd. Rock on non- believers. I am aware of numerous people that have this nasty illness . And I don't wish this on anyone.

Don't watch or read those news outlets , don't know anybody that has gotten the virus and none of my friends know of anybody . Stopped watching the news because it does nothing but rehash liberal bias .

Sure the news has CV coverage front and center and making people think, It can't be that bad, really?
When I was at my Dr. I asked him point blank if the CV was being over blown. His look and reply definitely answered that question.

Sorry, Non believing idiots, you better hope you don't drag it home with you and infect your family.
Wear your F##king masks, wash up if you know how and stay home for the rest of us who care about our loved ones and ourselves.

It was a proposal and the powers to be need to make a decision.
If they decide to go forward it will disrupt the slow re-opening going on now.
Mexico doesn't have money printing presses like the US does to give people $$
to stay home.
It's a difficult position to be in for any country now.

There is nothing physically or legally stopping Mexico from producing as much new money it chooses, as the gold standard was eliminated many years ago. However, there can be hangovers in terms of inflation ( and interest rates ) and currency devaluation, as well as future debt servicing.

Looks like it's official Mexico is putting up check points on the ports of entry to screen for essential travel to Mexico and if it's not essential you will be turned back as per the Gov of Sonora Claudia Pavlovich.

You blink in Mexico and their currency devalues 10-20% in a month so they need to watch what their doing with the printing presses.
In the US not so much because everyone wants dollars. I agree with everything you're saying.

FYI, Your buddies the Chinese might have another dose of mutated Swine Flu heading your way. Get under the bed quick. :cool:

Hate to break the news to you but your doctor is two-bit. Because you trust him doesn't me shit to anyone. Yes, I am aware the Chinese are infecting the world with another mutation. I am curious why you think I am under my bed when just about every post, I profess to living my life as normal with ZERO fear of the Chinese virus.

I'd say you can't use language like that on here, knowing Stuart would laugh while reading it, and off we'd go with our nonsense.

We’re in the same situation, its a big risk. We decided “F IT” and are leaving for PP in about half and hour, probably will hit Lukeville around 10am. We are fully aware of the possibility of getting turned around, but we’re hoping to slip through. I will try to post a “border report” shortly afterwards...

Good luck. An update as far as the filter/screening they are using would be appreciated. Also, the article I read stated that the restrictions won’t go into place until sometime this weekend, no date specified, so it’s a coin toss.

The essential travel included labor, trade and medical needs. Wonder what I could bring to show that I need medical/health assistance? Would medicine fall into that category I wonder? Hint Hint.

One thing interesting about the border restriction announcement what all of the border crossing between Arizona and Sonora were mentioned except the crossing at Lukeville/Sonoyta. Probably just an over site, but I looked on US as well as Mexican news sites and all included the official announcement which did not mention the Lukeville/Sonoya crossing.

Don't need another perv trying to set me up to sexually assault me.


You better pray that you're a MALE and we never meet in Penasco. My girlfriend doesn't play like I do. She's brown and from Lynnwood. They live by a different code. She WISHES A MOTHER FUCKER WOULD and I wish you wouldn't keep saying stuff like this. She said she's taking you to street court if we ever meet you in Rocky Point. I've showed my FACE AND TRUCK countless times on this forum so please introduce yourself when you see me next. My girlfriend has to serve you in street court... You've been officially warned. Keep saying shit. My GF WISHES YOU WILL...

You've been sexually assaulted? I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe this is why you stay up all hours of the night, angry, popping VICS and PERCS till you get your keyboard rocks off....

Hey Steve, I still have that HUNDO right here with your name on it if you still want to bet on the 2020 outcome????? Put your money where your mouth is. I figure since I get to Penasco 10 times per year which is 1/5th of the years weekends and you get to Penasco 6 x's more than me then we have a really good chance of being in Penasco at the same time at least one time in a given year. So this should make collecting of the money really easy.

Here's my PM reply to another forum member in regards to QUEEN.


"I enjoy it. I'm on this forum half for information and then half for entertainment. This person has serious issues though. At first I thought it was a man but I clearly think it's a woman now. She must either work a graveyard nursing shift and has time in the middle of the night to reply or she has a drug/alcohol problem and disassociates during the day by sleeping and then awakens at night to get high and go keyboard warrior on the Rocky Point forum where she's never posted anything about Rocky Point."

Queen, don't get the paws put on your by my girlfriend. She sees the shit you've been saying and DOES NOT appreciate it. The problem is, unlike white people like me, she lives by a different code. She wishes you would keep saying shit so she can put the paws on you. One of her sisters is a marine and the other is a high ranking Phx police officer. Claudia could have fucked up Ronda Rousey at one point.... you pry don't want to keep talking but Claudia wants you to....

I don't have a link yet to post. If I were you I would try to get here today. Yes it says they want to stop the flow of people for the 4th of July, But in reality they are preventing them from coming for the 4th of July. Most will be here starting today and not waiting for Saturday. This can change at anytime that is why I would not wait. If or when I get a link I will post it.

Thank you RP. I can’t do today. My wife is an ER nurse and doesn’t get off until 10:00 pm. I guess I’ll just have to watch the pulse of the community and maybe take my chances in the morning. This so freaking sucks.

All I know is that it's being discussed. Remember when it was announced they were closing Puerto Penasco in the evening and you only had until 12 pm the next day to get in. They never give much time.

This was posted on Facebook 11 minutes ago. Maybe try to call and see what they tell you.

"I called the US side because the a Sonoyta office is not answering. The officer told me they are seeing many vehicles turning around back to US. We were planning in coming down this weekend, masks, gloves and all to go support the local businesses as much as we could, I know a lot of people in RP and they really need the tourism to be able to feed their families. The Mexican government is not supporting all that lost their job. "

This isn’t looking good at all. Playa, thank you for the pic, and RP appreciate your post as well. Looks like we will not be heading down this weekend. Wife and I are gonna head to Prescott instead.

Yes, I was deeply offended by Queen. I agree. This has to stop. I just can't for the life of me put your name on anything meaningful on this forum? When you say you've been banned before, I assume it wasn't for sharing meaningful information about Rocky Point.

I was in Rocky Point from January to the end of June, and I’ll be back every several weeks through the summer. The chaos and rudeness on this forum and most of the Facebook pages is in no way reflected by the kindness of the actual expats you meet in Rocky Point. Maybe there are some rough edges in places I don’t go, but then I don’t have any reason to go looking for bad behavior.

Some people in Sonyota have been putting a vehicle barrier to prevent travel south. When a lot of Americans start being turned back, Lukeville closes to save people a round trip. Travel north is apparently unobstructed.

From what I understand US. involvement is incidental. A large part of Sonoyta has no water. OOMAPAS says 'pay your bill'. the people say F**K you.

I'd assume they are not paying the water bill because they can't, so it's just turned off? That's cold.

I heard CFE did the same thing when people were behind on their electric in Penasco. No extra grace period during their lock down.

I don't know about Sonoyta but in Penasco lot's of homes still have a water tank as a back-up. (delivery in Summer was spotty in past years).
Hopefully there's people still using tanks in Sonoyta too.

There is a very good article explaining several reasons why the Sonoyta people are very upset. It is long and in Spanish here is the link.

They have been denied entrance to Penasco for Doctors, Dentists, Medicines, Food and supplies. They can not visit family or go to their homes. Businesses that buy supplies to sell in Sonoyta are also denied entrance. They do not have a hospital in Sonoyta and are currently at 42 cases, but they say the number is much higher.

Maybe they have a very good reason to be upset.
I and many had no idea this was happening. Sonoyta has a population of maybe 10-15,000 people?

We used to stop at Vasquez's and the taco stand out front, it's been 8-10 years since we did that.
Now we stop at the OXXO/Pemex on the bypass road get some gas and Ice going in and for some gas on our way out.
With all the Cartel activity I've heard about over the past few years there, I don't need to spend anymore time there than necessary.
Also the Mordida police piss me off.

You're missing the best tacos by not stopping at El Serape across from VIP

This is terrible and unconscionable situation. Unfortunately there are lots of Ejidos in a similar situation in Sonora. The have small clinics but are not able to care for seriously ill folks. the people are pulling together as best possible but it's too little too late for many. Even Penasco has barely enough beds for routine hospital needs but IMHO Penasco has no right to retain state or local taxes. The only reason they did not overflow earlier is they sent the possible ill folks to Hermosillo.

Freight train knocks down electrical wiring, causing extensive damage
Significant damage to vehicles and infrastructure left the train passing this afternoon on the urban case of Puerto Peñasco.
Apparently, the excessive size of some wagons of the freight train caused that in its path it dragged the electrical wiring from the height of 13th street, to the crossing of the road that is located on Benito Juárez and Kino boulevards.
Consequently, 6 concrete and wooden light poles were knocked down, some of them falling on vehicles and businesses in the area.
10 vehicles and 3 businesses were damaged, and at least one of them suffered total losses, the rest with severe and light damage.
This accident caused several sectors of the city to be without electricity, and as long as the repair work is carried out, they will continue without electricity until at least Sunday afternoon.

So I guess this is not a good time for me to drive down to do some work at Bella.

This was on Rocky Point 360 Facebook 7/5/20

I would still wait until you see the requirements. So you may want to watch Rocky Point 360 or Rocky Point times for updates before jumping in the car.


An agreement was apparently reached between Puerto Peñasco, Sonoyta, and state health officials yesterday - though this has yet to be completely implemented - as both communities and Sonora confront present day challenges of healthcare and preventing virus spread in the age of Covid-19.

They are starting to post on different facebook pages that they are protesting again today for the border to be closed from 6 to 8pm.
Maybe someone has more info.

There is also a video out from a protester on facebook and someone translated and summarized as follows::

"Basically upset about how people from Sonoyta were portrayed in Kikos latest public statement. He said 1. If Kiko doesn’t bring the equipment to Sonoyta that he promised, they will shut down the road again. He is also demanding a public apology to the people of Sonoyta and even mentioned that since we are always looked at like a little narco town, you will see the narcos have our back!!! That was the gist of it"
