Yuma to Puerto Penasco - Problems?

[B_P]

We are heading to PP from Yuma tomorrow and just heard from someone that went down a couple of days ago, that they got held up by a protest near El Golfo. After 5 hrs they U turned and took a different route so their 3 hr trip took them 15 hours. She said she didn't know if the protest was over as the police thought it could last several days.
Has anyone heard or know where we might find out more information so we can decide if we should go via Lukeville. It is longer but sure don't want to get hung up by a protest for hours.
Thanks.

There is a struggle between local fishermen (most of el Golfo) and the newly enforced rules regarding fishing methods so as to stop the killing of the endangered Totoaba fish as well as the porpoise like Vaquita Marina. Their protest is a small problem overall but can take time for you to get through depending on the time of day. I would take 8 from Yuma to Gila Bend and shoot down through Lukeville just to be on the sure side of things

We always enter and exit at Lukeville, and find it to be very easy going and easy.

Protests are usually short term things. Haven't heard about anything serious.

Unfortunately, we are still way south, and can't help you as to current events.

Safe travels.
