More Rain?


The upside? I live for the desert in bloom.

The downside? I had to postpone my Baja vacation from my usual first two weeks of March to the first two weeks of April. I'm probably going to miss the ephemeral display this year. This was not the year for this to happen. I'm bummed.

Well, Elena LaLoca talks to Ralph at Santa Ynez on the HAM... so we will see. But your opinion rates pretty high with me Don Jorge. You have WALKLED the El Camino Real from Gonzaga to Santa Maria and back down the canyon, afterall! (sure would like to see your web page of that trip back online)... A beautiful experience!

We are supposed to get hit on thursday. This has been the rainiest dry season in any of the locals memory. The good is its staying very green this year the bad is my roof is leaking. Time for more impermeabilisante.

Hola noleakman, remembering the problems baja norte had very recently with the bridges getting wiped out and the arroyos flowing, i would recommend you put your trip off for at least a week after the storms.

if there are the same problems, mexico will get their transportation routes in order very quickly as mex 1 is the lifeline to all of baja.

also, i believe it's prime whale watching time and i'm sure baja doesn't want to lose the tourist dollars, errr pesos, that it generates.

i don't know what the weather will bring but guerrero negro is usually fairly well booked this time of year so you should call or email ahead for reservations.

by the way, if you need a hotel in loreto, i recommend the hotel angra, a newer small boutique hotel. if you need info, u2u me and i'll be happy to send it to you.

BIEN SALUD, DA RAT
