It’s time to think
about our annual trip to Rocky Point again! Rocky Point, also known as Puerto
Peņasco, Sonora, Mexico, is located at the northern tip of the Sea of Cortez,
about 60 miles south of the border from Lukeville, Arizona. GPM has a “camping”
trip at an RV park on the beach each April or May. This year we will be going
to Rocky Point the weekend of April 19-21st.
We will be staying at the Playa Elegante RV Park again this year. For $17 a
night you get an RV space with complete hook-ups, showers, and the best restrooms
in Rocky Point.
You can actually “camp” if you want to, using tents, sleeping bags,
and cooking in your campsite. Or you can bring a motor home or travel trailer,
your electric blanket and blender, and eat in the many good restaurants in the
area. I even have the phone numbers of several hotels and some condo rentals if
you want a little more luxury.
What do we do in Mexico, you ask? Well, we eat great seafood and Mexican food,
drink Mexican beer and muchas Margaritas. We walk on the beach, visit the bakery
and the restaurants, shop, and, of course, sit and talk. On Friday, we have
a get-acquainted happy hour. Everyone shares snacks, and I provide Margaritas.
On Saturday night, we have a group bonfire. Everyone will need to bring some
firewood for this. We sometimes sing around the bonfire, so anyone with musical
instruments will be appreciated.
There are usually fireworks on the beach at night. On Friday, some
of us make a trip to La Montaņa School for handicapped children, bringing clothes,
school items, and household goods that we collect and they desperately need for
the children. So please think about bringing some things to help the children
SPACES ARE LIMITED. Please send your payment for your space no later than
March 15th. There is a two night minimum ($34), but if you want to come earlier
or stay later, I can arrange that for you. Rates did go up recently, so they
probably won’t increase any further.
Rates per space are based on occupancy of two people and one vehicle.
There may be an extra per day charge for each additional person or animal. Yes,
you can bring your pets if you have the proper immunization papers so that you
can get them back into the U.S.
All additional charges are paid down there. Do not send me money for additional
people or pets, only additional days. One rule that will be strictly enforced:
ONLY ONE VEHICLE AND SIX PERSONS ARE ALLOWED PER SPACE. If you reserve
a space and, for some reason, are then unable to make the trip, your money will
be refunded in full as long as I have someone to take your space. Won’t
you join us this year? Call me at (928) 468-6666, or e-mail to lcstubbs@cybertrails.com,
if you have questions.
