ROAD REPORT ~~ THX TO BAJA PONY EXPRESS:
.
(written 10-21-12) Arrived Buena Vista 8.30 pm Sunday. We took our usual 24 hours drive time down the Baja ; no delays, no detours. We crossed the
occasional arroyo or puente that had already been re-graded. All in all a very nice drive; few trucks over this weekend (sadly not a lot of RV's
either), beautiful greenery. What could be better? Sam and Deb

Holy Cow Batman!!!
Another $1,000 came in this morning while I was out doing chores.
Guess I should do more chores! We're up to $1,725.
Thanks to all for helping Mulege make it thru this difficult time. There are always a few desperate folks, especially in rural towns in Mexico.
There are also generous people around to lend a caring hand. Go Nomads!!

This just in this morning from folks at Burro Beach on Concepcion Bay:
"Lots of families who were flooded are moving to the new houses (south of town across from the big Pemex) & the Internado and the HS &
Primaria are now in operation out there, too. I think 1 Primaria is going to stay in Mulege.
Leobardo and Silvia (managers of the Internado that was west up Icehouse road) have been working non stop all week moving things to the new Internado.
We've stopped by twice and they are 2 very tired people. Because there was advance notice about Paul, Leobardo managed to get a lot of things to dry
ground, but there was still some loss and lots of mud clean up. To the best of my knowledge, the HS kids returned to the Internado yesterday &
the younger ones will start Monday. There are about 12 kids in the ranches that can't get down yet because the roads were washed out."
There are a few high school students getting room & board at the Internado school, some Secundaria as well. The actual boarding school is a K-6,
but the boarding facility covers higher grades if the kids qualify. The above is from the head of Amigos de los Ninos, who hold the annual art sale
at Burro Beach & Bertha's restaurant to raise money for scholarships. Bobbe & Eduardo are there since Oct 8 so they weathered the storm; no
flooding at "the beaches" as the playas on the Bay are known locally in Mulege.
I heard from Saul Davis, who is a grocer in town, that one guy who had a sort of mini-mart at his house up Icehouse road (and kept getting flooded)
has moved to the new housing development. I'm guessing he'll set up a store there also. Obviously there will be a vacuum in services there till such
things evolve as they do all over Mexico.

it's coming along nicely with quite a few folks moving up to the nuevo mulege.....the gringo residences down on the rio are all mucking out and moving
back in for the most part....our house, guest casitas shop and storage are all clean and ready to be occupied so we'll be residents once again really
soon.....bart's jungla as well as scotties el candil continue to feed and provide beverages to the population.....just a bunch of resilient folks
living life down there!

Good news, Amigo. Lots of work cleaning up the water and mud but worth it to live in beautiful Mulege! And plenty of Compadres to share a cold one.
Good luck. Tio
