Just talked to a friend who lives in San Bruno which is just south of Santa Rosalia and he was able to drive from Tijuana all the way to Santa
Rosalia. There were numerous vados that were flooded and full of trash but he went right through.
Another friend is on the way to Mulege to mop up mud and water.

Sorry to hear about the Mulege mess...but sounds like it's just a clean up job. Our internet and phone lines were down all day and just came back now.
NOt a drop of rain here in Asuncion...last night it blew all night about 15 knots and today too....clear, hot and sunny here...no problems with roads.
Fishing was epic today with YT biting on everything and calicos hungry as hell too. Thanks to all of you for on the spot reporting....really helps.

Boy, really anxious to hear more of an update. 6 PM Washington State time here on Tuesday. Have plans to fly out Thurs morning. #54 Oasis is our
house. Hope the juice gets restored soon. The hardest thing is being here and not there to check out our house and to help our neighbors...and, of
course, not being able to phone any of them to see how they are surviving. Any news would be welcome here. Mike and Rosalind Reichner

Mike & Rosalind- friend did a walk thru of ours @ #56 Oasis today. Coupla inches of mud left in house & on everything. Fridge & stove
upended (stove probably popped when the initial wave from the busted sliding glass door came whooshing in; fridge floated till it settled on its side.
I hate muddy beer. About 54" in my place at high "tide." Beds & sofa ruined, there'll be kitchen & other stuff in the mud on floor. Stove
needs total in/out cleaning including plumbing, valves... Stuff up high wasn't touched. Do you have someone to open up windows & get some air to
the place? I'll be in camp Sat p.m., see you then. Bring mosquito repellent.

Yeah Mike it's important to get stuff drying asap. Good luck and thanks again for your updates. I'm stuck here but have had crew working on my place
currently. Hopefully they'll give me some priority.
We were getting ready to refurnish the house so we got lucky in a way. Just hope the walls held.

Mike, it sounds like a real mess at #56, lots of stuff to replace and clean. Where are people staying overnight during the clean-up process? Any
word of the electricity being restored?

this afternoon. No problems with the road south to Puertecitos.

WED AM
Word from San Felipe web site:
Wednesday 27 August, 7:00 a.m. White clouds are still dotting our skies, heaviest over the northern area from the mountains to the mainland. But it
has been lowered to a Tropical Depression. We will not see any rain or violent action over San Felipe today. In fact, it is completely normal. Winds
and water are very calm. Small cotton balls remaining in the skies are now scenic, not threatening. We are resuming plans for the week-end in town.
(st) Yesterday’s Max92 F, Min 81 F. Humidity currently 55%.

Ros- I'm taking a new mattress & first effort will be to clean out a bedroom to stay in the house. Got a friend that will chuck out the old one
& maybe sqeegie the floor first time B4 I get there. So I'll stay in the house. AC's weren't hit & power should be steady enough by Sat
evening. Right now power is on/off/on. Taking a small generator in case. Serenidad should have rooms, probably Casa Grenada, and the hotels in town
if needed. Cuesta Real also should be in biz, tho they woulda had some cleaning to do, don't think their beds woulda been wrecked.

More Photos of Mulege Flood
Here's a link to a bunch of photos taken by Martin Miranda (he took a lot of those early photos from Hurricane John). Lots from around the Jungla,
but also from around town and also from under the bridge, where the little overpass at the river was wiped out.

No, Martin doesn't work with us in Grupo Tortuguero nor EcoAmigos. He's an english teacher at the Prep school and lives up on the hill behind Jungle
Jim's.

Oh my Jon....sorry to hear of your hold up on the highway (would have been a good title for your post to get everyone riled up:lol But look at it this way....it could have been much worse...no violence involved,
nothing lost but sleep and just think of the great baja story you can tell your amigos and grandchildren!!!! It's a classic baja adventure...wear it
with pride!
Yesterday, the police were announcing around town for Mulege assistance...they are collecting stuff to send there to help the recovery.

Thanx Shari. I know, I know..you told me to visit you...but...I had to scratch another itch this time! I actually felt bad leaving that area
(Mulege/SAnta Rosalio) because the people were so helpful..BUT..those clouds were still ominous looking and I did not want to stick around for the
next bout of rainfall! I hope everyone there is well. The weird thing is that Santa Rosalia seems totally functional by the time we made it there..but
if you were to travel southbound from there,,,,you would see a very different story!!! j

David Ks' next trip
I see you are so consumed with your own trip plans that you completely overlooked the fact that someone was asking for info on their parents after a
big flood. Not some reference to a book they wrote.
Sometimes that Nomad connection doesn't quite fit the bill eh? I hope it rains cats and dogs on your next trip to Baja.
I'd bet you would have plenty to post about that!
