Planning a trip south to PTA Eugenia then across through El Arco to PTA San Francisquito and back through Bay of L.A. the end of October. Any word on
storm damage through El Arco?
From an earlier post it sounds like the road back into BOLA is rough but passable?

I havent been on that road after the storm but this area was hit REALLY hard with flooding...worst flooding ever experienced according to locals
between the ejido Benito Juarez and vizcaino was a real mess but no doubt the ranchers and el Arco folks must have the road passable anyway by now but
I am sure there were serious washouts. Let us know how it is.

Thanks for the heads up Shari. I'm banking on bypasses for the worst spots by the time we make it down there and figure 4wd will get us through
anything that's passable. Just wondering if there's anything major like a bridge out that will put certain routs off line for the forseable future.
I don't mind a detour if it will take me through some unexplored country, just want to plan ahead

There is also the Guillermo Prieto road, an excellent alternative to going through El Arco and puts you closer to see Mission Santa Gertrudis (founded
in 1752) and that oaisis!
Here are some mileage notes on area roads I traveled two years ago, on the Almanac maps of the area:

Last tuesday 23rd, 3 pickups from the Islas del Golfo reserve made it from GN to El Barril, no problems at all. they used the road from Hwy 1 just
passing the Benito Juarez.
The same day a convoy from Baja Strong arrived from Bahia with lots of goods for the town folks, they reported some muddy stretches and lots of
washouts on the arroyos that cross the road. They sure put those raptors and chasers to work.
About the "Camino Nacional" that goes from Jesus Marķa to El Arco, i“ve heard theres a difficult pass at the Arroyo San Luis and some other smaller
crossings near el arco.
