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.

Not sure how that link will show up on your 'puters, you may have to zoom out then zoom back in for Baja.

Looks like there could be some serious embedded thunder storms. Travel is ill advised for the next 24 hrs IMO

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
