The Lukeville border will finally reopen

Lukeville crossing is set to reopen this week

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced this decision on Tuesday afternoon, confirming that the border crossing will resume normal operations starting at 6 a.m. MST on Thursday.

In their press release, CBP reiterated their commitment to border security, emphasizing that they will continue to prioritize this mission in response to the ever-evolving situation. "We will keep assessing security situations, adjusting our operational plans, and deploying resources to maximize enforcement efforts against noncitizens who do not use lawful pathways or processes, such as scheduling an appointment via CBP One, and those without a legal basis to remain in the United States," stated the agency.

The closure of the Lukeville border dealt a severe blow to the economy of the surrounding towns, halting the flow of trade and tourism that forms the lifeblood of these communities. However, amidst this economic downturn, a silver lining emerged for the intrepid explorers willing to seek out adventure in the region.

For those bold enough to venture into Rocky Point during the border closure, they discovered a hidden paradise. With fewer tourists, the beaches became serene havens, offering an unparalleled experience of untouched beauty. Adventurers reveled in having these stunning landscapes all to themselves, relishing the tranquility and pristine nature of the coastline.

This reopening marks a significant step towards normalizing operations in the area and will ease access for our residents. We appreciate your patience during this period and hope that this measure proves beneficial for everyone. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out. We are here to assist you!

Speaking on behalf of Castaways, a renowned destination in Rocky Point, special promotions await those eager to embrace this reinvigorated spirit of exploration. Castaways invites travelers to take advantage of these exclusive offers, promising unforgettable experiences against the backdrop of untouched beaches and breathtaking vistas.

Find Castaways on various social media platforms to explore these exciting promotions and delve into the unspoiled beauty of Rocky Point. As the Lukeville border reopens, it's time to rediscover the allure of this coastal gem and create lasting memories in a paradise that's now ripe for exploration.

Rocky Point Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day Weekend - Rocky Point

Labor Day Weekend, September 2nd thru 4th, 2016.

Labor Day is observed in the U.S. on every first Monday in September as a day to recognize the contributions of American workers of all industries to the U.S. economy. It is also meant to give workers a well-earned day off to relax at home or to get out for recreation.

To many, Labor Day marks the end of the summer season, even as Memorial Day marks its beginning. Many see Labor Day as their last chance to get out and take a vacation before summer is gone, and many workers get a two-week annual vacation period with Labor Day Weekend right in the middle of the two weeks off.

Most U.S. schools restart classes, after the long summer break, about a week before Labor Day. Others schools, however, resume classes on the day after Labor Day, thus allowing families to get in their last taste of summer before the school yea gets underway.

About Labor Day

The first Labor Day was held in 1882. Its origins stem from the desire of the Central Labor Union to create a holiday for workers. It became a federal holiday in 1894. It was originally intended that the day would be filled with a street parade to allow the public to appreciate the work of the trade and labor organizations. After the parade, a festival was to be held to amuse local workers and their families. In later years, prominent men and women held speeches. This is less common now, but is sometimes seen in election years. One of the reasons for choosing to celebrate this on the first Monday in September was to add a holiday in the long gap between Independence Day and Thanksgiving.
