supplies to mulege
We are trying to get supplies down Thursday or Friday from the South Lake Tahoe and Tahoe Douglas Rotary Clubs via Palo Verde airport. Is there
anybody in Punta Chivato or Sta. Rosalia willing to meet da plane and help ferry supplies? We have a 4WD in Punta Chivato, but not sure how much gas
we have. Is there a contact person in Mulege or central meeting point for supplies. I know the road is closed between PC and Mulege, but I have
heard that it is drivable with 4WD. Please let me know if this is correct. Jimmie Christopher is our ususal Rotary contact, but I do not think he is
in town. If any of the Mulege Rotarians see this, please e-mail me directly or reply the thread. We are bringing mosquito netting, deet,
flashlights/batteries or lanterns, small cookstoves, MREs (if we can get them), antiseptic wipes, gloves, masks, and some water purification
tablets/or reverse osmosis pumps. We'll throw as much gator aid, beans and rice as we can in the plane when the other things are loaded. We will
bring all of the above that we can find within our budget and that the plane will safely carry. Thanks to all of you who have replied wanting to help
with $$ or items. Let me know if there is anything else we should add to the list or if any of the above items are already OK. Most of all, if
anyone knows a reason this game plan won;t work, mail me.

Alaska Airlines are booking flights (at least from Seattle via LA) this Thursday to Loreto! A friend of mine is heading down and has seats on the
first flight.

I just heard from the Mulege Rotary and they are asking us to wait with our plane load of supplies. They want the roads open, water on and gasoline
before we head down. We fully respect their wishes and are ready and waiting for when the time is right. Thank you everyone who has responded to me
with information. I will post again when we get the go ahead.

Am I the only one this sounds weird too??
I would not think people flying in and out with emergency supplies would do anything but good. Is the rotary in charge of Mulege'??? Sorry, but I
don't understand.

They do not want their precious few resources stretched by visitors right now. Also, they do not want to waste time and gas if we are not able to
land the plane. We are respectful of their wishes and are ready to go whenever. I'll keep you posted. The gas issue for both planes and vehicles
is a real concern for us also. The Rotary in Mulege is a great organization and we have worked on many projects with them.

Mulege arrivals and homeowners
While services and resources are minimal at best right now, the influx of unprepared people with good intent will end up using more than they bring I
fear. As soon as roads clear things will happen faster. Certain essentials need to be brought in in every vehicle if possible.
That should be for each and every individual. They also should be prepared to endure much heat and insects and no sewerage. Be wise and please heed
precautions.
I would suggest anyone headed into the area currently be equipped with enough foodstuffs and gear to satisfy their own needs, just like camping in
remote areas.
What can be said for all those with homes there:
Be prepared for spoiled food or rotting household goods and carpet. Bring masks and plan your sleeping arrangements if at all possible.
Bring BIG Plastic BAGS to fill with bad stuff. Shovels etc. and all the other stuff needed for sanitizing your casa and ensuring your health.
If you cannot do this I suggest you wait until you are prepared to do so.
Think ahead wisely.
DON\'T SQUINT! Give yer eyes a break!

Mulege Rotary
Jim,
You might try Julieta Oronoz in Santa Rosalia as she is helping out with the Santa Rosalia Rotary Club relief effort.I think that the Mulege Rotary
might be overloaded with their own cleanup problems right now.Her email is julietabaja@hotmail.com

Can the moderator PLEASE remove the email address from the above post - we do not need spamming trolls picking up email addresses.
If you need to contact Mick, then please do so through our web site (or via phone) - http://www.cortez-explorers.com/messages/contact.html
As FARASHA has mentioned, Mick and Maria are both fine and thank the many people on this board for their concerns.
regards
matthew

Thanks FARASHA! I hate spammers!
Does anyone have further information on the Rotary Fund that Piece and Val spoke about? I would like to send out an email to our diving club members
with the information, but i have not heard back from Julieta (i am sure she is very busy)...
if someone can post this info so i can mail it out, that would be great!
thanks & regards
Matthew

%$@%^#'n spam filter!
Sharks, my email spam filter is apparently blocking the email from PayPal with the confirmation number to set up an account. Is there any other way
to get you a contribution for the Mulege fund?

Got it -- I used the website link from Sharks' other thread instead of going straight through PayPal, and no confirmation number was needed.

It is apparent that there are lots of relief fund organizations that are being set up for Mulege; Dos Angels, Sharksbaja, Baja Bush Pilots, Rotarians
and others.
I think it is important to not view them as competitors!
They are all working towards the same cause. The cause is urgent. People are out of water and food.
Please donate to any or all of them. If there is any sense of competition, that is a good thing. They are all in a race to save lives.
