Russ, thanks for all the updates, we really appreciate it. We met you last Oct. after a squall went through and couple of trucks were stuck in the
road. We were planning a trip down for this week but holding off now. Planned to camp at the beach. Maybe in a couple of weeks. Hope you're doing
ok. Stay safe.

heading out to chivato to deliver some stuff to russ and check on a few homes.. i hope the road is passable with 4x4
Shouldn\'t one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check or Sec.8 housing?
........... I had to pass one to earn it for them!

Big Mike58, I read a couple of days ago, that the old road was easier than the newer route. Hope that helps. If conditions are right, would you check
our house too on our parcel? Our parcel is the one with the high pila behind the beach front homes. No homes in the back. Mine has the yellow wall
around on the south end and the house is yellow too. Muchas gracias amigo.......if you can....We are stuck here in the states for a couple of
months!!.............Robert
Happy Trails....

To Big Mike58, the road to our parcel is the first entrance north of where the old road comes out to the back road below the hills that run on the
west side. Hope that helps...gracias again
Happy Trails....

We drove to Chivato yesterday and it is definitely 4 wheel drive. The road was seriously washed out. I did not see any real damage to houses and the
runway looks good. I would stay closer to the ocean side, it may have been a little soft by the run up area where they put a little concrete. We
checked about 6 houses very closely and no damage was found. I think everything will come out ok when they get some machinery in to get the road
open. It is seriously washed out from the fork of the old road where it goes to the right up until you pass the estuary. The estuary was pretty deep
but the Razr went right through.

Just a shot note: Thanks to all for their concer and beast wishes. The houses here have all been looked at and have dried out with help of the locals
or were unaffected by the storm. Some damage to the more open structures. Don't make plans to come down soon. I doubt we will have our water system
going for some time and the truck probably won't be able to get in for awhile either. I believe the equipment we need to fix the road will be busy
working on the highway. There are some locals getting in and out now to get out for food and water.

A seasoned pilot will be inspecting PCH (the airstrip and taxiway at Punta Chivato) , taking pictures and reporting to the commendant at Loreto today
(Sat) or tomorrow. Until Mario Landeros knows the condition of PCH , the Gov will not allow flight plans to PCH. The pictures and report should be
available Tuesday the 9/23.

Not sure what happened to one of my post but I'll throw it out again. I saw Watkins flying over the runway earlier today and then a twin did a few
flybys and landed so I can guess that the runway is serviceable.
Carlos just dropped off some needed meds for me and had talked to Guero about the road. We're raising some funds to buy diesel for his and Jorge's
equipment and hoping they will start repairs Monday if it is freed up from work in SR and the highway. Still no word on water. Bobby?

Mike M came by earlier with supplies from for me from Big Mike. Thanks Mike!! He's definitely hurt but doesn't want to take care of his damaged leg.
He just keeps on going.
