The riverside palms are being thinned and heavy brush cut away. The old river mudbars and small islands will be dredged out...thus giving the river a
much less obstructed run to the ocean. The river will hopefully never flood as quickly as it did during the huge rainfall from Hurricane Juan...over
22 inches in 24 hours.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Hey Pompano, what's the status of the old ramp by the lighthouse? Has it ever returned to useability?
I assume that the landspit between the north side of the river and El Sombrerito has reappeared and is driveable?

Pompano -- I am amazed and pleased to see how wonderful it is looking again along the river. What a lot of work has taken place since I saw it in
October! Thanks so much for the photos, the update.

Geez I hope it's wide/deep nuff fer my Magnum. Do you think it will mediate the river in a major flood? I was wondering if that was rumor. Back-hoe
dredging? Well, it's a start.
Thanx for the update!

How come Greenpeace isn't stopping this dredging project?? I mean, if
nature didn't want floods then the river would be naturally deep! What poor
critters in the river are losing their homes to this destruction!!!

Wow, David you're right. I'll foward this info to them immediately.
This could be a ruse to dredge for another cruise ship harbor at Mulege.
We'll have to get there a little earlier this time.

Could this be the start of the Mulege Marina and resort. I wonder what slip fees will be? Can I park one of those Seattle style houseboats there and
set up shop?

I bet a lot of junk (debris) from years past have been hauled out of that river during this project. Not just the trash from the storm, but old stuff
that's probably been hanging in that water for years and years. It's nice to see that something good is coming to Mulege after that terrible storm
and subsequent flooding.
Thanks a million for the photos Pompano. My wife and I are currently planning our October vacation which will include a few days in the Mulege area.
Can't wait.
Thanks again,
Bob H

Sorry, cruise ships only! But don't worry there is plenty of water for all the golf courses that are planned.

minnow...the marina will be at the place you're staying at for the fish tourny...
it will be nice to float boats into a safe place on the bay...with floating docks...
the "backhoe" on the river is actually an excavator...it's smaller but moves mud...

HO HO HO ......... That was a good one.
Years ago in Waikiki, Don Ho wanted to open a club called the Ho House. They wouldn't let him do it.
Not so long ago, somebody wanted to market a garden hoe called "The Black Hoe"...... black handle etc. They wouldn't let him do it.
Now, here comes Pompano with a Ho joke and what happens? They wouldn't let him do it.
Just kidden, Bob.......... I know you got it.
