Road conditions after Jimena
I am travelling to Todos Santos from San Diego on Sept. 14th. Is anyone aware of the current highway conditions and gas availability?

Can you read, foonman? Spend a few minutes perusing the threads related to Jimena and Mulege.

Welcome---
The other threads are a lot to wade through----from what is reported, the road is out at Santa Rosalia in more than one place and south of Mulege.
Mulege is isolated right now.
Gas in the south will be a problem at least for a while.
Keep checking and again, welcome.

"Current" road conditions after spending some time scanning numerous threads on the damage after H Jimena may lead you to postpone your trip.
10 days from now is a whole different story, which will change dramatically on a daily basis as the resilient Baja folk make repairs.
At least plan on additional days for your trip as it will be slower and more hazardous in some areas than usual.

by the 14th it shouldnt' be a problem...the roads are a priority to get open fast so supplies and help can come in...the arroyos and bridges will have
detours built around the bad bits but it will be passable....barring any other weather problems that may come up before then.

In the main hurricane thread, this was posted at 8:33 this morning: "The road from Loreto to Cabo San Lucas is passable. From Loreto to Santa Rosalia
there are 9 washouts and the road is not passable. So Mulegé is currently isolated."
Now, you have to decide that going down there in 10 days are you going to find the road repaired... Bring empty gas cans and fill them in Mexico
somewhere between Rosarito and El Rosario.

First, I would like to send my regards to everyone whose affected by this. I believe in resilience of people in Baja, and I am looking forward to my
trip in the end of this month.
I have been following the main Jimena thread for all week. At the same time, there is a lot of info, some of which are (understandably) duplicate
info. If it is possible, I would like to see this Specific to Road Condition After Jimena thread independent of the main Jimena discussion and keep
it going on its own. . . . just IMHO.

Good idea Mika. There are many pertinent and relevant posts that become redundant or lost behind the other new posts.
A current road report is a great thread. Perhaps changing your post header to say "Current" would be more appropriate and we can get up to the min
info and not have to wade thru the chaff.

I too want to keep abreast of current road conditions... I expect to cross into MX from Mexicali on the 13/14th and drive to Los Barriles... I am not
a fan of Santa Rosalia(and do not want to hang out there) so I will delay heading south if I have to... I am taking some school supplies down but they
can wait... I anxiously await for those first few adventurist who head down next week..... ROAD REPORTS PLEASE!!!!!
foonman... even if you do read... it seems that some postings just jump out at newbies for the hell of it.... be patient the information will come...

I just received this, "Thanks for the photos, Russ. I got as far as San Ignacio but turned back to
Viscaino when told the road was out 13 km south of San Ignacio."

A road report thread is a good idea. I'm planning a trip down to TS in late October and I'm sure by then the roads will be repaired, but then again,
it still is hurricane season.

What is the condition of San Ignacio? Specifically San Igancio Springs? Very anxious for any news!
