available-with a mothorhome-or trailer-if we all can get through-and if the govt. will allow is to get through with suppliles, water-or filtration
sistems-etc. in other words WHAT CAN WE DO??? for our american and mexican friends there?---has anyone notifed the american news service-tv stations
or whatever?seems they would love to know--the more news we can get out-maybe the more help?
anyway--you guys are doing a great job--any help you need-let me know--joe barnes-e-mail: mymolly55@isp.com phone is (360) 267-6908 (In washington

Bruce we are all breething size of relief knowing you are okey --- spelling intentional to give all a chuckle and some levity --- love and prayers
from all yur amigos ......
Tomorrow (Tues) we will learn more of what will be needed to get supplies to your area and whether it will be feasible for us to be a go-between from
CSL ... will post as soon as we are given good info from officials ..
Stay strong everyone and for those of you that believe, there are many many prayers being said by many people from many walks of life for swift action
to get help to all in need ...
Please know we truly care about everyone and want to do what we can for all of you ...
My heart is aching being unable to get supplies quickly delivered with a wave of a magic wand or a wish on a star .. but if it were possible 'snap' it
would be ...

MULEGE REPORT- DOWNTOWN RIVER AREA
These pix were taken from the bridge or actually in the same area below the bridge. Obviously nothing to save here, even after the flood wall to
prevent this was built this last year. Two police watched as people picked and looted what they wanted. Truth be known, nothing of value was taken
by them no matter how hard they tried-
In the last pix you can see some of the many folks who are trying to do laundry in the only water they have....the river.
And i can say there is one confirmed death of a gringo at Jorges Park. I talked to two people who said "Yes, I saw the body". That of an older man
who drowned in his trailer. Many rumors (four by my count) suggest that two young teen Mexican girls were swept to sea

Barnes,
I too am trying to assess the situation as to how and when we can go to Mulege.
My problem is, can we bring enough to offset what we would consume? Where would you stay? What would you eat? By the time you get there would relief
agencies such as the Mexican military, Rotarians, helicoptors, boats already be in operation.
I don't know the answer to this and would like to get it from the people who are there. I too am waiting for more information.
I have/had (?) a house there. If I were to come down asap, the priority would be to bring supplies for those in need, which at present, is everybody.
People come first! Then I would have to tend to my property.
Is it too early to be there. Could anything be done yet? Is there anything worth salvaging?
Friends are heading there right now. How would they communicat to me what they find? I need to wait and get more information as it becomes available.
I am inviting input here.

Notify us press.
Sorry: Know I am new--today to your forum--thank goodness you are there!
Anyway-obviously complete mess-deaths-maybe 3 hope no more-property loss-who knows? my house? my friends?
can we get there with help-no one really knows--
I sent a e-mail to cnn-news--after going through 3 links finally got an e-mail address and sent them a report--after going through maybe 4 or 5 or
more subordinates maybe they might get it--a super news story--and maybe some help for mulege.
Please get a hold of any news service--get cordingation with us and mexico on letting all of us getting through with relief-(yeah right) good
luck--with iran - iraj--bush-(thought i was a republican-actually guess I am now a radical or something)
very impoortant this gets into the us media and very important that they actually report it correctly(good luck)
major disasterr-three deaths reported so far-etc. relief very necessary and very important all relief can get there-no problems with mex. or american
aulthorities.
sorry for my rambling--go to work--I am very tired - as most os you are--8am this morning--still on. bless all (however you want or don't want to)

Bruce, if someone has set up a fund to provide financial assistance to Mulegenos who suffered losses in the storm, I want to contribute to it.

Good on you Art
I am currenly in the planning stages. Plan what you will do there. Keeping yourself safe and healthy would mean you could give a lot of youself to the
needy. With that said we must consider the most important items to bring. Seems a trainful of goods is necessary but pay close attention the the cries
from the locals down there. They will tell us what we should/can bring down that would be of great importance. Iam trying to secure some antibiotics
and med supplies as well as water treatment stuff.
As far as where you woill stay, be certain you have some kind of plan for that also. I can use my PU bed tent or possibly my upstairs in Mulege
should it still exist.
Info will trickle out, the roads are mostly out with truckers and whole bunch of others clogging up the Hwy. Emergency crews need priority and I am
sure they will fix that stretch so of Mulege rapidly be semi-patient....

toneart and sharksba and anybody else: Totally agree with what you said -United States news has had no reports all day.. app. 30 min. ago sent
an e-mail to cnn--had to go through 3 or 4 of their links to get contact-expect-means--many subordinates that might pass up-understand?
suggest-most important thing now is to get the word out o american press--already many people ready to go with supplies if we can get through with
supplies-including getting through the border with no problems-gasoline to get there-roads ok--etc. you both know exactly what i am talking about\
my intentions are this: find out what is goint on-make sure i can get through and survive-and help--joe barnes

bajamigo -
We have created the Dos Angeles Hurricane John Relief Project --- tho initial actions were targeted for the area around CSL we realize immediate
emergency action is needed in Mulege.
We are accepting donations via Wells Fargo Bank as well as from our cabomagic.com site for credit card processing ..
We are coordinating emergency truck drive from USA border and there are several nomads stepping up on the angel plate too ... ding ding ding
We will know tomorrow if Tommy can get an escort arranged but either way truck/s will load and go from Tijuana very soon ...
Will post more information tomorrow ...
God bless all of us ... LG

Hey Corky. Let me know what your plans are. It doesn't make sense to go until we know we can get there and we can get gas all the way down. I can
borrow a trailer and load it up with supplies. Its driving me nuts just sitting here and doing nothing. Mi Amigo, I wouldn't hold out too much hope
for the upstairs. I hope I'm wrong, because I may need a place to stay. Barnes, Gabby is my upstairs neighbor and I glad to hear she's alright, also
Hugo who is a good friend.
Marv is OB John and Gene alright?
At a feast of egos, everyone leave\'s hungry...

Right on Den
You are exactly right. I also have a trailer capable of hauling a couple tons if I can figure this all out.
Gee, I wish I had a better photo to look at of our mess. Maybe manana. Well get the plans firmed up as we go Den.

Hang in there Nomads :
Everyone is starting to get on Track.We really need a Report on the Grade North of Sta Rosalilla?
For those planning on going down by Truck or Car. Be Adised that you could be Held up for Weeks by Road conditions as I have been in the Past at El
Roaairo, San Quintin Mulege and the Big Dip just North of Loreto.
The Road Conditions MUST!!!!! be Checked;
Notice to any Baja Bush Pilot that Can do the Job!
I will pay for you Fuel!!!!!!
Anybody still Flying a Cessna 180 should have enough Range to go Down to that Area and Return to Guerreo Negro/Sta Rancho Sta Innes.
Anyone, Please send emails to the Dept. Of Tourism in LaPaz. Remember the Power lies in the Capital City-La Paz.

Skeet - I would like to have an mailing adress for the La Paz Officials - as I would really like to let them know, that even people in EUROPE are
aware of the situation in BCS - especially MULEGE, and that we are concerned that help is delayed.
It must be possible to get Army helis flying in and dropping of what's needed. And to fly out those who need medicalcare!!
Something we do, when we have Floods/Avalanches here around. Whole villages have been evacuated this way.
So give me any adresses you have and I'll be on to it from this side of the globe, together with some friends.
I have a friend who has relocated in MULEGE half year ago and we (friends and relatives) are very much worried.
I have visited Mulege earlier this year, so I do know some of the people who are now desperate for help.
regards LiseLotte

the serenidad strip looks like it didn't have any wash outs like happened in juliet's storm when it took Don 2 weeks to get it fixed and dried.
if it dries fully, no rocks, big ones that is!, and doesn't pump water, most tri gears should be ABLE to get in, like the sort of planes, BBPers and
the like, that go there frequently.

Capt. Mike: Can you do anything about getting someone down there in a Plane that can give an Accurate Report???
As many Pilots that have used the Seriendad Strip and the Friends of Don Johnson should be able to Land on the Road,. If none can call me and if the
Pilot will stay below 5,000 ft. I can sure get in there with a Load of Medical Supplies.
Sure wish I had my 170B right Now!!
Com On Mike see if you can pull some Strings with BBP and get some Help down There.

I have been unable to get hold of my Mick and Maria at this time, so i am still waiting, to find out what they need - However, are there thoughts to
having some kind of convoy for people who can make it down, and have vehicles to make the journey?
