Crossing The Border From The USA into Mexico At Lukeville AZ to Puerto Peñasco

Nov 28, 2015 - Rocky Point aka Puerto Penasco was our goal for a 4 day jaunt into Mexico. This is our first time driving across the southern USA border, and we have our Aussie Deacon with us as well, but we left the KTM's at home in Colorado. We pick up the action as we enter the southbound customs border crossing. Evidently, it is never a problem leaving the USA, only coming back, so have your passports up-to-date, and your dogs health certificate that is date within 10 days of your crossing by your vet. This is a one hour ride through what is called the "Hassle Free Zone" along Sonoran highway 8 to the top of the Sea of Cortez. Puerto Peñasco is a little fishing village that is popular with residences of Arizona. Clean beaches and friendly Mexicans. The condos are all owned, and some are rented out by a management company, Seaside Resorts. We will be staying at Sonoran Sky, but my sister favors Sonoran Sun. We couldn't find a condo owner that would permit Deacon to be there. The shrimp here are fresh, caught daily, and are large. You can take up to 50 pounds back across the border, but no plants or pork products. There is a large motorcycle rally (7000 bikes, mostly Harleys) that go down there in the fall. For those of us who like to ride off-road, you can rent an ATV for $30+/hour. Next time I'll bring a KTM to explore some sand dunes. You cannot ride on the beach, except on a horse. The place is empty after Thanksgiving and before Christmas, when the condo owners are back in the States. Booze is cheap in town. Mexicans will walk the beach trying to sell you something and in town, there are guys with buckets and rags wanting to wash your car for tips. It was a great time, and I learned more Spanish. I'll upload some beach and area videos after this one.
BTW, for you Adventure Tourers, you can enter Mexico here (or through Nogales, south of Tucson), then work your way west to Puerto Peñasco and on to Baja California, then come back up through Tijuana, south of San Diego
