Apr 17, 2013 - Puerto Penasco, Sonora Mexico

We drove around Puerto Penasco again, saw a very eclectic 5th Wheel, horse riders on the beach and wonderful views. We then went to Visit "Tugboat Dave" a friend of Jimmie and Jeaine, the couple from whom we bought our 5th Wheel. Tugboat Dave got his name from captaining a Tugboat that brought Oil and other tankers into Ferndale, Washington. Jimmie was 1st mate on one of Exxon's oil tankers and Tugboat Dave's tugboat was the one that brought Jimmie into port. We drove to Ostonera Oyser Farm, run by 12 women, to eat "extremely fresh"...

We did some touring and saw Old Town Puerto, very quaint and we found Three Guys Fish Market, Geraldo one of the owners, was extremely honest and we will eventually buy our seafood from him. We then ate lunch at the highest point in Puerto Penasco, El Casa de Captain. A wonder full view of Puerto Penasco and the Sea of Cortez. Went back to Kay & Marlins for cocktails and dinner that Reggi prepared.

We drove to Puerto Penasco, Sonora, Mexico. We met up with Kay & Marlin, our friends from Alaska and who we have met several times along our journeys.

Now we have a challenge, when we meet again, Reggi and Marlin are going to have a Crab Cake cook off, now with Kay and Michael as the judges, the contest will be a tie.....ummm.

Mar 14, 2013 - Puerto Penasco, Mexico

This covers our caravan we led to Puerto Penasco, Mexico for Fantasy RV Tours. We are now working for them and this was our fist gig. We were the Wagon Masters. We had 14 guests. We were supposed to be the tail gunners, but they ran out of wagon masters so we got the job. We had a great time. It was a lot more work than people realize. We were working from 6 AM to 9 PM everyday. We had a lot to learn. I had to figure out how to do the financial books. The guests were mostly first timers to Mexico. We were able to keep everybody busy with...

Feb 15, 2013 - Beautiful town

First day in Puerto Penesco. We took a short drive into town via the condos on calle 26, very nice road with numerous traffic circles. We managed to get down where the Malecon is, parking is at a premium so we venture up to where the Banomex, Sams cub - Bordego is. We had lunch at Burger King, nothing like this since B4 Xmas. 2 combos were 181 pesos or $14.50. There were 2 boys(10 - 12 years old) here looking at us, we eventually left, and they jumped up and showed us the clean windshield, we passed a few pesos there way for the hard work...

We met our group of HitchHikers in Gila Bend. We had a decent dinner in the local Italian restaurant. The next morning we drove to the RV Park in Puerto Penasco. We drove to a different RV park so that we could do the Trip Log for the Fantasy trip we are leading in March. Everybody is parked right on the beach except for us. I wanted to park where I can get good Wifi. I won't say it is good, but it works sometimes. Susan and I have done some scouting for Fantasy, and have already been to the grocery store and vegetable store. Yesterday I...
