Rain Reports & Latest Road Reports?
Heading home tomorrow!!!!!
Wouldn't you know it the first big winter rain is suppose to hinder my trip south. I'm going to trudge through though and hope for the best. Planning
to hit the first detours south of Ensenada shortly after daylight. I don't like traveling on weekends but I've spent too long up here playing with
medical appointments and jumping through other VA hoops.

Hola, here is a partial printout from today's national weather service.
looks like lots of rain in southern california although there is no mention of baja.
DRIVE CAREFULLY...OR...NOT AT ALL !!
i'm not an alarmist but remember what the rains did to northern baja last year especially from tijuana to el rosario !
carry extra supplies especially food, water, clothing and blankets and keep your gas tank topped off.
BIEN SALUD, DA RAT

OOPS, FORGOT TO COPY AND PASTE, SORRY.
"Persistent . . . strong southwest winds over the eastern Pacific Ocean will carry an unusually large plume of moisture to the region," the weather
statement said.
"With some breaks . . . a series of storms will likely continue through at least the middle of next week. Several periods of significant rainfall
accumulation are possible."
Saturday night through Sunday morning is expected to be the most significant period of heavy rain, with intensities up to a " half-inch per hour ",
according to the Weather Service. Snow levels are expected to remain above 9,000 feet.
The stronger storm expected Tuesday and Wednesday has the potential for heavier rainfall intensities "on top of soils that may be approaching
saturation," which could cause flooding, debris flow and rock slide concerns, according to the Weather Service

Russ. It is a good idea to get through the construction as early as possible. We went through early in the morning in October after a good rain with
just a 10 or 15 minute wait while some trucks got straightened out. It got worse the further south we went. It was slimey but I didn't have to lock my
hubs. I wouldn't have wanted to be there much later in the morning with more cars on the road. Have a safe trip.

We went through the Ensenada construction going South three days ago. Not near as much dirt as there was when we passed north two weeks prior. Quite
a bit is paved, or partially paved. Was much easier than even two weeks ago. With rain though, it will still be a bit slippery in the parts that are
still dirt.
We were pulling a 19' travel trailer... no problem.

Not sure who is heading thru the Sacramento Valley for this Holiday.....expected rain levels to hit 6 inches. Mountains expecting 10 to 15 feet of
snow. There be flooding on parts of I-5 (Galt area) as it always gets that. Mountain passes trying to leave the valley will be an issue (H-58 and 99
Gorman)
Our creek here at the farm is currently flowing into the field

Hey Bass... don't sweat the small stuff.. your retired .. the only thing ya got is time... and a wife that is way to good for your sorry ass... down
there setting everything up for ya... Geezzeesss...
b-tch, b-tch, b-tch... put a 12 pack in the front seat... they won't be checking ya going south... pack a bunch of food... keep it all on the front
seat along with any animals... also keep your camera at ready so you can let us "see" ya in action... what's going to happen to you... have an
automotive problem....
Ya got it made in the shade.... enjoy... and keep us posted on your movements.. I'm sure yours won't be as bad as Mike's about now... walking in the
rain... and setting up camp in the rain... takes some of the fun out of it... but, then it might bring back found memories of being in the "field"
while in the service.... Gee, wasn't that a lot of fun.... being in the field when it rains for months at a time... not just a couple of days...

mcfez, I'm at Mom's house in Shingle Springs right now. Been raining since I left LA yesterday at 5 a.m. Only got heavier as I moved north! Poured
last night. Change of plans meant I had 2 free days. Now another change. All my
big stuff is going in storage in Orange, and I don't have to haul it in the rain. Weather looks wet till at least Christmas Eve, and I'd rather pay a
few months storage than chance ruining all my furniture. Seems the boat and tackle don't mind getting wet though,  so I'll be in La Paz for Christmas Day, and be fishing on New Years!
Keep your eyes on the road, and your hands upon the wheel!
