Lupi owns and sometimes operates the pizza joint on the second story on the corner by the bank. He bakes there, and most likely lives there. Yep, his
bread freezes well too, so I always stock up.
He leaves regularly to persue any good job that comes along.

Bread & Bakery options in Mulege area
Lucia operates a wonderful bakery down in the bay at Posada Concepcion. So far, winter season only.
Man, can she turn out the baked goods and pizza!

whole wheat anythings are his specialty! Cinnamon rolls, plain bread ( not sweet like SR bread), indiv. pizzas, Whole wheat bread, multi grain bread,
bread sticks etc. However, it is rumored he is working in GN right now. I will bring you a loaf or two of my rustic bread which I make regularly, as
I miss good bread!

Hopefully the "liquid air" will dry out before mid-October when we arrive for our winter stay!

It's Raining!! First time since Sept?
sprinkles, not a down pour. Just enough to streak the dust on everything.
Mulege tip, bring shoes that have traction soles for walking on the river road on days like this, it is as slick as....(fill in your fav words)

Rained hard for a while on Feb 8. We planned to camp near Anna's but ended up in a nice house in the Orchard. Tin roof make it seem like a monsoon.

I'd check out Loreto also. Some folks think its too big but there are some great places around the area and I like the vibe of the old, historic
town. Mulage always struck me as a place that would wear thin after a couple of months. Good advice to rent for awhile. Either way, the summers are
a pretty mean and make you dream of being over on the Pacific side...

Mulege is a great place! Rent!!!! Don't buy anything along the river. I've got a picture of a govt. sign warning against building along the river.
Will attempt to post it with my limited skills.

Yes, the flood zone is all along the Rio. Oasis, Orchard etc all the way to the light house. Living on the rio requires planning to be able to move
your stuff quickly or store it high etc. Still a risk, but there are some beautiful places for sale or rent. There are other great places above the
flood plain too. Stop in and say hello when you arrive.

Shari, there is a {French)bakery in TJ and Ensenada.
I can pick up some loaves there for when we come down in December.
Or I can even pick some up near where I live and bring those down.
We'll make French Toast for breakfast one day!

I wanted to buy a place on the river, then came along the Hurricane they had a terrible flood along the river,

Orchard is a flood zone, that's why. Most ads in that Craigs link are not Mulege, though - they are in Bahia Concepcion.
Crime rate... OP - there are always some desperados; you'll find them if you are looking hard. Probably there is a little more of them now after that
hurricane that destroyed Orchard and flooded the town center. Fewer tourists, too - so beggars, muggers and petty thieves become more persistent, but
this is happening all around Baja lately.
Sure Cabo is expensive. Because in Cabo it is 80 in the night now, and in Mulege - close to 90.
IMO, the biggest problem of this town is - no waterfront. It is not on the sea. Rio Mulege is shallow, only in high tide you could get to Orchard and
other places upstream. Didn't check after that post-Himena dredging job done by the Feds, though.
It's not all gloom, of course. Every time I stopped there it left impression of a charming and peaceful place. May be it is.

Nice look at recent history there Ged... There is even trouble in paradise! This type of flood happenes typically every 50 years... they just had two
in the past 10 years. Maybe that means Mulege is good for 100 years now? Maybe not! It is beautiful living along a flood plain, but the wise man lives
on a hill!
