Looks like a road trip there cold be in the offing.
Your info comports with what I read in a current RE magazine at the Mercedes Benz dealer waiting room when I had the "Red Plum" in there a few days ago for na 4 wheel new alignment for the new tires, that I bought last week.
And now Autumn has started, sounds like a cooler mment to get there now that July and August's infernal desert heat has faded.
And I had friends from Tucson that like to go there to party, you could come with all the fresh caught shrimp you wanted @ $8 a big bucket, along with the Tucson restaurants that got theirs there. |
It's an easy 2.5 hours or so from Tucson. The crossing at Lukeville/Sonoyta can be tedious on weekends. Don't miss Licores Vasquez on your way thru Sonoyta. Originally a little booze and curio store, they've taken over an entire block of shops in the last 25 years and sell every sort of thing a gringo tourist is likely to want, from ice to beer to booze to clothing and high end furniture. The taqueria right outside is great for cheap tacos de carne asada, and about 100 ft. up on the same block is an old style tortilleria with great flour tortillas, stock up on them on your way to RP and you'll be back for more to take home on your way north.
In college, we figured driving distance to RP thusly:
Tempe to Gila Bend, 1 six pack
Gila Bend to Lukeville 2 six packs
Lukeville to RP, 2 six packs
You could be on the beach for just a bit more than a case of beer.
