Road condition South of Loreto

dtbushpilot - 10-13-2008 at 08:10 AM

I posted this question on the Norbert thread but thought I would post it here too.

Does anyone have info on the road condition South of Loreto, especially around Constitution, as that area seems to have taken the brunt of the storm? May need to be there in a couple of days.

Thanks....dt

Baja Pony Express says there was lots of road damage --- between Mulege and Loreto, all around El Cien but SCT says they'll have it all fixed by tomorrow. I have no way of knowing if that's possible or not but the reports are late yesterday and this AM.

Here is a photo of the arroyo south of Loreto, taken from on the new bridge, a vado between Loreto and Nopolo, and a rockslide at the Juncalito overlook. These photos were taken Saturday evening as Norbert was approaching the Mainland. I'm sure that Mex. 1 is now passable to the Cape. I am told that Puerto Lopez Mateos got little rain and not much wind and that the road is also passable between Insurgentes and PLM.
