I just got some info regarding Punta Final: "...At this time Punta Final is almost under water the road coming to camp is 2 ft. under water. Also the
road to Sacrifico is washed out and the wash you have to go over is is running big time. It will be at least 2 to 7 days before the road are
passable...."
Any other info is greatly appreciated...

Gonzaga Bay
The weather station at Punta Final reports over 50" of rain in the last 24 hours! I am hoping that the gauge is not functioning properly. I have a
Casa in Punta Bufeo and would like any info on how the Gonzaga Bay area fared. Any flooding of the houses there? Any reports on the new road? My
contact down there are unresponsive for the obvious reason but although I have bee tracking the form, Facebook, etc. haven't seen much form this area.
I'm packed and ready to head south to help cleanup my place or others that need help. Thanks

That would be Arroyo Santa Marķa, originating near the mission of the same name, 10 miles west. Another large arroyo joins it, just west of the Hwy. 5
new bridge construction... that one is called Arroyo Las Arrastras on the Almanac and Arroyo San Francisquito on the Gulick map. It includes the La
Turquesa Canyon drainage, too... so I can easily see a river going into the bay between Beluga and Sacrificio!

tomorrow morning, so any advise is greatly appreciated... we're planning to camp at an available camp site (Rancho Grande, Belunga, Papa
Fernandez...?) any suggestions? |
that same link, when you look at the weekly precipitation shows 49.49 inches of rain. I'm not sure I believe that but...
I did get a text from a friend at Pt. Final that said he finally gave up with the onslaught of rain. He could not keep up with it in his place and it
got flooded pretty bad.

You will have MANY flooded arroyos south of San Felipe to cross... and rock slides south of Puertecitos... Matomi is probably a river.
Without 4WD, expect road beds to be gone at vados and some bridges, too. This is a major event.
Look to Facebook for new photos... One shows a waterfall west from Los Pulpos (~15 miles north of Puertecitos) coming off the side of a mountain.

Wi-Fi,
Looking for someone that has Wi-Fi and is willing to share it (for a reasonable fee) while we are down there, I need to stay in touch with my family
due to my mother's ailing health condition... we're traveling tomorrow sometime during the day, any info as where to camp and launch a boat is greatly
appreciated...

Wonder if Coco can tread water? Hope he is ok. Storm looks to have went directly over his place.

The weather station was just taking a pounding. I'm here and it is more like 19" which has totally flooded us. Good news about the road north of
here.

Looking forward to hearing from TW when he gets there (or anyone else)... Because of the major arroyos across Hwy. 5 may be flowing, it could be a
couple days to drive to Coco's from San Felipe???

You stay safe! Hopefully the construction crews at Arrastra have pushed a new road across the wash.
