LUKEVILLE BORDER EXPANSION

I received an email from my NEW Information Station, Bill Barvitski...stay tuned for great news on re-entry to the USA - they're expanding the border, uh, finally!

COASTAL HIGHWAY SONORA BAJA CALIFORNIA

The Coastal highway is open although not official. Millions of people just got a lot closer to Puerto Penasco. The road is paved all the way and it is a very good quality road. You can now drive all the way to El Golfo from Rocky Point in about 1 hour and 15 mintues. Better yet Yuma can make it to Rocky Point in about 2 1/2 hours. El Centro, CA. about 3 1/2, and San Diego about 5 1/4 hours.

HASSLE FREE VEHICLE ZONE

I can't remember if I posted this or not, but for the weekenders, you might want to know:

The "Hassle Free" vehicle signs on the road to Rocky Point mean that you don't have to have any special permits to be in this area. It's considered the "free zone." I think the free zone extends 5 hours soth of here, to San Carlos/Guymas. I'm almost totally sure on that.

Any questions you might have before you travel to Rocky Point, write me and ask: mynparty@yahoo.com.mx

DRIVING AROUND ROCKY POINT OBSERVATIONS

Observation #1: Mamacita's moved to 13th street...yuck, but well - at least all the seethy (MYN hybrid word seething and seedy) places are on one street!

Observation #2: A corny looking bar called Diana's is open next door to the Boo Bar - it was empty, and will probably stay that way...

Observation #3: Chiltepino's in the Old Port is closed! :( if you have a jonsing for wings, the Boo Bar's are awesome!!

HASSLE FREE ZONE EXPLAINED...

Quite a few of you weekenders have asked me what the "Hassle Free Vehicle Zone" signs mean on the way from the border to Rocky Point. The basically mean that you don't need any special permit to drive your car on the highway. A lot of people think they they need a special permit to drive to RP, but you don't! Now, you can drive all the way to San Carlos without the permit, making the whole state of Sonora a "Hassle Free Zone" making it easier for tourists to see this great state by car!

Happy travels!

GOOD STUFF FROM KENT WHITE

Some owners in Santo Tomas have been using this road for a while as it puts them door to door from Tucson to Santo Tomas in 3 1/2 hours. Not knowing where exactly they live in Tucson it would be interesting to hear if anyone else knows the time it takes to Rocky Point. It might be an awesome alternative route on "Busy border line weekends".

THE WRECK ON FRIDAY

I'm sure everyone is aware of the horrible car accident that occured on Highway 85 on Friday afternoon...I heard the story from a man that got passed by the van that caused the wreck. It's so unfortunate, but so preventable!

Next time you're in a rush to get to Rocky Point (which isn't going anywhere) please please realize that you are out in the middle of nowhere for a good part of the drive, pass safely, wear your seatbelts, and don't drink and drive!

Life is great - don't miss out on it.

Have a safe trip back home!
