Wrong forum? As far as I know this was the general Baja discussion forum. What forum would you suggest I post on??

I suspect he meant "thread" as this one is about Punta Chivato?

I have a little more info this morning. As of Saturday: I'm told that 3 suburban type vehicles came in with official of some sort regarding our road.
They came thru the muddy area I said was too muddy. Which means you don't have to used the trail blazed by the locals. The estuary area is still
hazardous and should only be attempted by 4x4 and those with cajones and experience. The heavy equipment I thought would be working here is being used
to work on Hwy 1 the main priority. But hopefully will be available soon for us. Someone I didn't recognize just walk by on the beach so some are
making it in.
Sunrise today
Credit to the Luhans for getting the officials to respond. I'm sure they are making efforts to repair our water system also. Thank You

Yes, the line/road is in bad shape and will take some time to repair. Another reason not to hurry down.

OK here it is. We drove down Saturday towing a razor side by side. Left truck and trailer at titos. The road in is the worst I've ever seen it's
going to take more than a guy on a loader to get it back. only the brave of heart or of great need would drive it. The Governor of Baja Sur flew into
Chivato runway and then drove out to survey the damage at Santa Rosalia. I would say it's finally time to abandon this road and petition funds for the
new /old road way in.Santa Rosalia / San Bruno as some old timers have said worst flooring they have ever seen.If Russ can post pictures forwarded
by Jerri the devastation in SRL is amazing..Main water line into town broken in multiple places. Amazingly very little casa damage.. So far just a
little roof leaking and sand accumulation.
I'll post again when road is passable without question. I'm sure energies are needed in more pressing problems...

I'm sorry to hear that. I can only imagine how stressful that must have been. I only saw the pic of the truck.

Just got back from a run to Palo Verde. I was going to meet Hugo the Internet man from mulege to give him a ride in to fix my exceed service. He
passed me on the way in and just used his 2 wheel drive. He said bad but he has seen worst. So for all but the most urban I'd say the road is passable
with care and intelligent driving.
As for the exceed Internet users you may all want to get together for a big yday service call..I didn't remove my dish before the storm and the wind
blew so hard it loosened all the bolts. All fixed now  Still warm and
humid but water clearing up and no bugs. Gorge busy up in mountains trying to get access for the ranchers with loader and road grader. Chivato maybe
tomorrow...

If you don't need to come ... don't. There is no water available and the line was heavily damaged. The storm season isn't over yet folks. That being
said: I went into Mulege and the town, main streets, are clean and businesses seem to be running normally. Lots of delivery trucks and the few
markets I went to are well stocked already. Our road is passable but very rough in places. Two drive made it with spinning once. The Palo Verde road
is okay except for a couple washouts in the larger arroyos that have been worked on. The estuary on the West side is where the road needs a whole lot
of work. Some of the washouts are steep and I wouldn't bring in a trailer until it gets worked on. That also means the propane truck or the water
truck would have a difficult time getting thru in places. Sorry only a couple photos, Photos Photo bucket is really bad. Here's a couple that
uploaded. These really don't show how bad it is.
detour around a bad spot
Chivato side of the estuary the washouts are further on.
