Puerto Penasco 3

The beach fronting the RV park, looking south, Rocky Point in background.

This is our third RV excursion into Mexico.  Last year, it was San Felipe, which didn't have much to offer.  We were here in PP 2 years ago, liked it and decided to return.  We're at the same RV park but weren't lucky enough to get ocean front spaces like we did last time.  The park is nearly full after the arrival of a group of about 40 high end motorhomes a couple days ago.

Looking north at the string of resorts adjacent our campground.
That water slide tube on the right shoots the sliders into an empty pool.
Kinda hard on the butt, I'm thinking.

The main drag through town is under construction, have to detour via rough, dusty side roads.  Also under construction, is a long breakwater 5 miles north of town, the future anchoring location for cruise ships.  I wonder if that project is speculative - if you build it, they will come - or the cruise lines themselves are involved with design and financing.  Seems like a huge gamble if it's the former and there's no commitment from the cruise lines up front.

The breakwater under construction, huge trucks filled with rock.

Mother Nature's sand sculpture.

We are a group of 3 rigs: Terry and Lisa, David and Elaine, Trish and I.  Yesterday, we all decided to have our RVs washed and polished on the cheap: $51 to do the Cougar versus $230 in LHC.  The quality of the wax is suspect but what the hell.  Local folk wander through the park daily, offering various RV services, fresh seafood, all kinds of stuff.

It's 5 o clock somewhere.

Usually, we have dinner al fresco but it was too windy last night.

L to R: Lisa's leg, Terry, David, Elaine, Trish.
