Though activities surrounding what would have been the 20th Anniversary of the Rocky Point Rally have officially been postponed to next year due to Covid, we are sure to […]

Normally, festivities and memories spill across Puerto Peñasco’s streets, bars, and cemeteries in a colorful display of masks, altars, and catrinas. While many of these traditions still hold true in this atypical year of Covid-19, festivities […]
It finally felt like Fall in Rocky Point this morning (almost…wait, did it?). Foggy streets greeted early risers as people threw open windows and front doors, wondering if this means we’ve really turned the corner on lingering summer humidity. In a glance at the news, we see the “only essential travel” limit at the US/Mexico/Canada […]
Phoenix area has already surpassed a record number of over 100° days!

Well, we sure didn’t think Spring would roll into Puerto Peñasco like this. As we followed word of the coronavirus (COVID-19) that has been spreading across the globe since early this year, and knew first cases of it were detected in Mexico on just February 28th, our focus turned more towards revisiting how to wash […]
The skies opened up over Puerto Peñasco yesterday, seemingly also in mourning after the city was struck by news from the weekend of a tragic bus accident involving young boxers and their trainers.

¡AMOR! With Valentine’s Day on a Friday, coupled with the US Presidents Day 3-day weekend, what’s there not to love? Following the tremendous dousing Puerto Peñasco received this week, the sporadic lakes around town are hopefully drying out as things are heating up. There’s plenty going on around town this weekend, so let’s get to […]
This febrero has taken a turn for friiio this week, so be sure to keep warm inside and out. Possibly it’s because of February’s full “Snow Moon” (Feb. 8th – first super moon of 2020), or just a reminder we are indeed still in winter. Stay warm at your favorite watering hole this weekend, or […]
