Earthquake Damage Report From San Francisquito!!!
I just returned from a quick trip to San Francisquito. We were down there when the recent earthquake struck a few days ago. It was a huge earthquake
and was pretty scary.... I heard it was centered up near San Rafael - I hope Pancho is ok! Nobody was hurt at the resort - only scared.
Tons of damage to the resort. Not all damage is pictured; their diesel tank out by the generator collapsed and there is sporadic damage throughout the
place. The termite damage was so bad in the old bar area that it finally came down. Over the years, we have slept many nights out in the bar
area....lucky nobody was sleeping out there! The roof over the big outdoor eating area is still up. Out of the 4 remaining cabanas, 1 is really bad,
and another has quite a lean to it. I don't think I would trust the other 2 any longer. Pictures tell a thousand words.....

Glad you're okay. Also, if any Nomads get down to see Pancho, please post an update.

The last meal I had there- well, whatever kitchen it came from is no great loss, IMO

Zac,
We saw Pancho last week, pre earthquake, and he was fine. There were quite a few people camping there, up on the bluff next to his house. I took him
some sugar, cigs and sweet rolls. He insisted I take some abulon shells in return.

The kitchen appeared to be ok. There was some damage to the same building, but I think the kitchen is still operational.

Wow...sad about the damage, but it can be resurected.
But oh man, some guys are so lucky! You've got one of those 'Remember when"? stories to tell for life! Pretty unique for any Mex traveler!

Hey Pacifico, can you estimate HOW LONG the quake seemed to go on for you guys? Over here on the mainland and a bit south of the epicenter, it felt
like it shook for AT LEAST 30 seconds.

It has to be one of the nicest beaches in North America!
Bummer I haven't been back since camping there in 1983:

So fortunate to hear no injuries, lots of work and history lost but there will be new stories to tell.
Hook you guys OK.

Oh yeah. My SoCal internal seismometer pegged it at about the equivalent of about 5.5 over where we are in Sonora. But it was lengthy.
