The Coastal Highway is Complete!

The Coastal Highway El Golfo de Santa Clara - Puerto Penasco, of approximately 134 km in length was inaugurated on December 17th by the Sonoran Governor, Eduardo Bours Castelo, during an improvised ceremony in the town park. The highway will bring many benefits to the Gulf of Santa Clara and Puerto Penasco, but will also attract visitors, namely Californians. Because of the highway, millions of people just got a lot closer to the Gold Coast of Sonora's northern, pristine beaches. The highway, known in Mexico as "La Costera," will tap into a large potential of tourism for Sonora and Arizona, as the region attracts visitors and investment from Orange County, Calif., and San Diego. The drive from Yuma to El Golfo is about 1 hour, 15minutes. From El Golfo to Rocky Point it is about an hour drive.
 
For this 3-day trip into Sonora Estado you will need a Passport!

BUMP REMINDER!

Six weeks from now we of BMW MOA Southwest will be riding into Mexico! You will need Mexican Insurance on your BMW motorcycle. I have used www.mexpro.com for two decades with great results. Their toll free number is 1-888-467-4639 and they are based in Flagstaff, Arizona.
 
IMPORTANT UPDATE TO 10/28 MEXICO RIDE!

Due to Phoenix traffic and distances traveled, I have been asked to move departure time back to 0930 hours. So, plan on Kickstands-Up at 9:30am from Gila Bend 10/28.

However, Papa Chuy will still be at the McDonald's on the West End of Gila Bend at 0830. I don't want to take the chance someone may not see this departure revision!
