Made it

Finally made it to Peurto Panasca/Rocky Point Mexico. This is our first time south of the boarder with our fifth wheel and we are pretty excited about it. We met up with some friends in Ajo Arizona where we bought insurance. We only bought trip insurance good for the day you drive in and the day you drive out, then formed our caravan and headed south. Crossing the boarder was easier than expected for us they waived us through, didn't even talk to us. Our friends from Canada had their fifth wheel searched but it was no big deal. The highway is in good shape but the roads in town are pretty rough.
We are staying at Playa Bonita RV resort with our rig a Montana 3400 RL backed up to the bulkhead facing the Sea of Cortez. Service is 30 amp/water/sewer. No TV unless you have a satellite dish. We are staying for 13 nights at 27 bucks http://s1194.photobucket.com/user/ps146364/library/
  • Sounds like a good spot for the rvs with drugs and illegals to slide into the US without much concern.
  • Bilmarde,
    I'm surprised the border patrol doesn't stop you at the Lukeville crossing just to practice talking to another human. Its 35 miles south of Why, AZ. Bet that's what the agents are asking themselves. :)
  • We have crossed at Lukeville returning from a winter in Mexico for the past 5 years and have never been stopped, Just waived through. The same with entering Mexico.

    Yeah we always figure the return crossing will be a bit of a hassle.

    Didnt know you could get it like that. Interesting.
  • The first time we went south of the border (Canada/USA) it was pretty exciting for us too. Glad everyone is safe. Have a great time.
