Puerto Pensaco Report
Hey, I don't post on this board much anymore, for a couple good reasons, but I thought I would throw this out there for anybody heading this way to Rocky Point , Hello, Hello , Hello (echo)
15th year here in Rocky Point. At the Reef Rv park. We still love it. Been farther south. Don't need to go farther south. Lived in several foreign countries . We like it here. Southbound Border Guards were not bad. 100 yards south of the border, mexican marines are stopping a lot of rv's heading south. Cursory search in some cases, more thorough in others. (This was as of yesterday)
Sonyota police are still active and taking traffic violation money from americans (DON'T SPEED)
This was as of this week.
Recent events on the news about the border .......we had no problem southbound. Wait at the border was about 30 seconds. We drove through without getting stopped 2 weeks ago.
Bad news. The Reef rv park.has almost doubled its rates for prime spots. In some cases doubled. Name may be changing or at least what they call themselves. The park is half full (or half empty if you're that kinda person) , at least so far for the presidents day week end.
My friends arrived 4 days ago without reservations and easily got a spot, so that option is open
Good news. Sea lions and dolphins are out and some have reported seeing whales.
Weather is a little overcast but not too bad. Been a little breezy. Heard it was raining in Phoenix.
Fuel here is a bit pricey, but not much we can do about that. I think about 18 pesos or so a liter.
Had dinner at El Capitan on top at the malecon, for Valentines Day. Food was good and reasonable. Margaritas were excellent.
They take dollars here (and credit cards) and the last exchange rate for pesos I saw was around 18 pesos to the dollar.
And finally, the shrimp are available, big and tasty.
So if you're hesitant about traveling to Rocky Point.... Yes it is Mexico. About 64 miles or so over the border.
If you would never ever travel to Mexico, the US. is better. GREAT. If you're thinking about traveling to Rocky Point ,pack up , come on down, its different, a little adventure and we like it.
