No issues with Federales or Banditos?
sometimes its hard to tell 'em apart.
Excellent looking cook. Makes me hungry! -
We took the parents, in laws and kids to Rivera Maya last summer for a duel 50yr anniversary trip last summer. Loved it! Our second trip to Mexico, both on the gulf side. If we drove, it'd be a day+ in the car. Actually, @Grillmagic performed at our resort and we got to see him. Unfortunately, that was pre egg for me so we didn't have a connection. That would have been cool.
Anyway, it's great you can make that trip so easily. Way jelly. -

Nah, Rocky Point isn't a drug shipping lane. There have been a few isolated incidents but I am not worried about going there. My biggest concern when i go is not the Mexican Banditos or the Federales but the Americanos who think they have a license to be idiots once they cross the border. I guess that's what you get when you mix alcohol with immaturity and I've witnessed a LOT of that on my trips down.Security is ramping up now anyway due to the cruise ship port under construction. I never thought it would happen there but it is going on. I did get 'wrecked' at the reef last week though! Too many cervezas! This is Arizona's beach. Ungodly hot and humid in August and September. October through mid July are beautiful though. Very low-cost trip and renting a beach house there beats the crazy California costs. Clean beaches, salt air and cold beer go really well with the MiniMax's shrimp cooking capabilities!

That looks so good. Shrimp haven't tried that yet. Nice view

Have always wanted to go there, we would go to San Felipe just across the gulf from Puerto Penasco when we lived in SD.
Great post, really brought me back. -
Awesome

thanks YEM! I wish everyone on this forum would have a BGE reunion down there sometime. I go to RP at least once a year, and sometimes 3-4 times per year. There's a Sam's club, and the fish market and plenty of places to get ice cold beer so there's not much missing. Except for aqua socks (necessary due to rough reef at low tide), I didn't wear shoes for three days. My kids rescued a pretty good-sized octopus, we saw a sea lion, and there are so many fish down there it's incredible. We usually see dolphins but not on this trip. One of my son's buddies got a jellyfish sting but he was picking the thing up out of the water! oh well, live and learn,
I wanted to have a pizza party on the beach but it didn't happen this trip. I was pretty bummed about that but we ran out of time as we spent a day at the estuary drinking beer, kayaking and eating fresh raw oysters for $6 a dozen. Incredible

there was an outdoor kitchen right on the sand. the insert had a rusted grill grate (it's off to the left) that I removed and just set the MiniMax in that spot. it was as though it was meant to be there!
Next trip: PIZZA on the beach! -

I neglected to mention that the outdoor kitchen came with the house we rented. 5 bedroom 5 bath, a great room, fireplace, outdoor fire pit, outdoor kitchen. $500 per night. When you split it up with a few families and do a massive sam's club and beer run when you get there, it's the best vacation deal I've found. Plus, I got to enjoy the MiniMax while on vacation which was really super cool! -
Spring break for your kids, correct?
Happy you had a great time.
How was the weather?XL BGE, 22" Weber Red Head, Fiesta Gasser .... Peoria,AZ -
Yes, spring break with my kids- and a bunch of their buddies whose parents rented houses in the same area where we were. The weather couldn't have been better. Low high 70s to low 80s by day, and mid to high 50s at night. breezy most of time but Monday night the air was pretty still and I don't like not having a breeze. The moving air keeps bugs away.

this was too good not to post, didn't make these on the MiniMax but they are indicative of what the trip entails food-wise. one of our traveling companions sent this to me early this AM. Now, THAT'S shrimp cocktail!
