Fire at La Misión burned all the way to the ocean
Fire in La Misión . The fire east of La Mision burned all the way to the coast during the night, driven by high winds. Devastation along the north
side of the river. Homes all burned. Friends are on the beach in the dark with their horses. Hoping that human lives are safe.

I am going to La Rumorosa to pick up my horse trailer and maybe try to get to La Mision with it. I expect there may be too many obstacles though: Hot
spots still burning, road blockages, police barricades, power outages so no gasoline pumps, poor communications, and my mobile phone doesn't work in
Mexico. Not sure what I can help with. I won't be able to provide updates from Mexico.

No gas in La Mision that I recall seeing.. So, get gas in Puerto Nuevo or Cantamar. Thanks for helping them! Graham Mackintosh was there and he just
left yesterday for his next adventure. I tried messaging him on his satellite device.

@ K77 Bajamar, the mision of homes by the golf course was evacuated to the clubhouse for a period of time. Golf course sprinklers were used again,
spot fires were extinguished by our security guys all night long.
Use Libre and old stagecoach road to sneek around toll road closure

Wow, that's just south of my roommate's place. Hopefully not too many homes were lost. There are a lot of poor families living up that valley, been
to a couple clothing/shoe donations at Magana's.

Hoping to see something on the local news about the Baja fires (Chs. 10, 8, & 7 have 11 o'clock news)... However, no, as there is a fire right now
between Ramona and Santa Ysabel, south of the 78. There was also a small fire last night in San Marcos, but they snuffed it out quickly. The big fires
in L.A. area are also mentioned ('Tick' and 'Old' fires).

Well, why would you hear about the Baja fires? Most americans could give a flying ef' about anything that doesn't effect them directly and much less
about Mexico burning.

my daughter Sirena is offering her spare bedroom to any fire victims who need a place to stay in Ensenada...U2U me for details.
I would be happy to put up the horse folks down here at the Ranchito in Bahia Asuncion if they want to travel that far.
