am wanting to ask folks on the mainland, primarily in San Carlos and Guaymas, some questions about services and experiences there. when I google for sites, I get a surprising number of them, most promoting real estate or tourist services. anyone know the best site to ask questions of actual residents? thanks for any suggestions.

Not true. Was pretty active 4+ years ago. Very light traffic these days.

This is the one the locals use: http://vivasancarlos.mx/bulletin/index.html.

I had a house there for about 5 years. One of best places in MX. Good mix of everything.

We just came back from a week in San Carlos. Great place if you have any questions I could try and answer them for you?

thanks for the offer, but my question probably requires a 'native' gringo in San Carlos. I'm still trying to figure out how to get a small/medium load of household 'stuff' from Phoenix to Loreto. I figure a number of folks there have information on 'how to' from Phoenix down. I know that it would be fairly easy from a CA border city, but I'd prefer not to have to haul a load to, say, Chula Vista, and go through a reload, new company, etc...
