TS JOHN
Thanks for the advice. I'm sure they would cancel my flight if it was too bad down there....at least I hope they would. I guess we'll see where this
bad boy goes and make a decision on friday. I'd rather reschedule than go down there when things are upside down.
Thanks again and please keep me updated if you could.

The Airport
Is a very long way from the beach. It may rain like heck. You may have trouble getting from point A to Point B. But you"ll never forget the trip.
But you might want to book in May next time.
Please post the adventure.

Brian, around here the pesos you might need may be for "fording". Lots of enterprising sorts go to the flooded highway/access roads with 4X4s and
taxis to get stranded tourists/road travelers across raging water to catch planes, buses, get to medical centers. We had whole resort populations in
this area, luggage held high, wading out to be taxied/rowed/carried to the airport side of rivers that ran for 2 months after the storms. Couple of
my pals paid up to $500 dollars to get to where they wanted to be in taxis and are still talking about how cheap that was.

How does the road between the airport and La Paz and from La Paz to Cabo usually take this sort of thing?

We havent had a big storm since they put in bridges at several of the problem areas between the airport and La Paz. I figure that Osprey is talking
about Las Cuevas which now has a bridge. These bridges have not been tested. The one by San Bartolo looks to me like the banks will wash away before
the bridge, leaving it stranded.
If it is that bad the airport will be closed anyway. It doesnt look like we will get much more than rain. We will know more as each day passes.
If you are coming to Baja, be ready for any adventure that nature throws your way.....that is all part of its charm

I dont know about the bridges east of the airport going to LAP but the ones between SJD and San Lucas have been tested and failed a couple of times
since they were put in in the early 90's. El Tule went twice and one time the water kept running from the montanas for almost 6 months. It changed the
whole bottom structure and composition of Chileno Reef area.
John was upgraded to a Cat 4 this afternoon and his track modified a little further east. If you are anywhere near the area I would take Judy's
advice. Hunker down and be safe.

If you are asking about my post the water runs down out of the 6,000+ foot mountains just north of SJD and northeast of San Lucas.

i was refering to a often asked question on this board as to where will the water come from for the new building dams would preserve the water and
