Yep. Locals don't build down in the flood plane. Photos are not current, they show 2009 flood. It's better now. Can happen again, nobody knows when. I
wouldn't bet on 100 years, though. Climatologists say that the climate is not just "changing" but weather becomes more violent as we keep on
destroying the planet. More winds, floods, anomalies like snow in Southern states etc.

Weather is something else. The weather gurus can't, with any degree of certainty, tell us what's gonna happen next week. And we're supposed to buy
into their predictions about what's gonna happen 10 yrs.?, 20 yrs.? ....etc. from now?

Cypress, the only difference between "weather" and "climate" is a measure of time. One hurricane is a "weather", more frequent hurricanes is a
"climate". To avoid this semantics, you may consider that "nature" becomes more violent, if this sounds better. More frequent extreme weather
occurrences, in other words.

Alm, Maybe "nature" isn't becoming more violent. Modern technology makes us aware of any weather event worldwide. The expanding population makes it
more likely that these natural events will have an impact. No doubt that climate changes.

River Cleanup
So you know, the town is cleaning the river.
I know, I know. I can hear everybody say "We've heard that before." but... this time its true.
Don't know the details or specifics of the clean-up plan. I do know that an engineer and his team have been hired and they've surveyed the river. I
don't know the correct term for this but this week they're installing what might be called surveyors' poles in the river.

Adding to the rumors -
Workers have been inquiring about room rentals at Cuesta Real RV/ Hotel. `Sometime in Sept.`
A porta potty contractor has been hired
Now, will they show up with one machine or many?

These were installed yesterday. Maybe the dredging will actually happen?
They cross the entire river at two seperate locations,,
Shouldn\'t one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check or Sec.8 housing?
........... I had to pass one to earn it for them!

Look at the bright side! If they dredge deep and wide enough, then comes the super-duper boat launching ramps!
Like it or not, those hurricanes added tens of feet to the aquifers. Nature can be cruel as hell. Offering a mango pie in one hand and beating the
hell out you with a coconut log with the other...

Not a big deal. All they have to do is cut a 3-4 foot deep channel.

In the past I saw people out in the channel trying to dig a path so thy could get thier boats in/out When and if they do dredge it how long will it
take to fill back up with sand. Once you start dredging it's a continuieng process.

J.P., It is indeed an ongoing process. The amount of dredging needed in Mulege to
open up the mouth of the river isn't a big deal.

Hi mulegemike ... dregeing the river is a big deal for everyone .... very good for the area and local people [ economy ] mulege will never be like the
days of old when the 'Duke' came to visit but it can return to a better place for all .... funny half the post are about the flooding problem and how
every one is crazy for being there .... but there are disasters in other parts of the world and nobody packs up and runs away .... they rebuild and
continue on with their lives ... besides the up side is great .... how many palces in the world [ for a reasonable price ] can you live in a beautiful
place with wonderful people and have a river in your front yard [ protected harbor ]... that leads out to the sea ... not many ... enjoy it for what
it is not for what you think it should be .... it takes a brave heart and vision ....

cervezafrio, Welcome aboard. You're right about having a river/creek that leads out to the sea in your front yard. A very special situation! I'm very
thankful!

We used to travel to Mulege often when Ken/Chris were at the Cuesta Real, I liked going there but that was in the past we were there this past
spring and the whole area really had a depressed look and feel about it The Questa was just another poorly run Mexican Hotel.

JP, the whole Baja has a depressed look if one cares to look closer. Bad times. And it won't get better soon. Gringos can live on their SS pensions
there and be happy, but locals are in a different "boat". And when others around you are unhappy, you'll feel the effects of this, one way or another.

alm...actually this is the "gringo" view
there is work here..."gringos" just dont see it
right NOW the locals are building and improving and going to school
the "SS crowd" comes in the winter and leaves in may...
too hot when its over 80f
they are "snowbirds"
the local people in town are generally happy...
they have different goals then "gringos"
the world doesnt revolve around the "american tourist"
