Somebody needs to get their poop together before the next storm hits.

Cypress,
What would that look like? Relocation, water diversion, or what? Mulege is a special place for so many...it is disheartening to see such frequent
damage and loss....especially for the local long-term residents. While serious for the gringos, it is likely more tragic for those that have less
wealth and fewer options.
Don't believe everything you think....

Relocation from the river bottom would work. Water diversion? Where would you divert it? Elevate all structures along the Rio at least 15' above sea
level, timber, metal, or concrete pilings would work. Otherwise, this flooding will continue to wreck everything along the river whenever a storm
blows through.

There Was talk after previous flooding of not allowing anyone to rebuild in the flood plain. What became of that.
Looks like it would be a good area for a nice Park and Camping Area.

actually, the pics don't do it justice...until you've waded in ankle deep stinking sewer mud in your living room you don't get a real sense for it.

Where are those last four photos (highway and then river shot) taken? I see that the guy with the cowboy hat and khaki shirt is wearing a Procaguama
(San Carlos turtle group) T shirt but I can't recognize him only from the back!

I have only driven the road from Mulege to the south end of Concepcion bay a few hundred times and I am sure that is the valley shown, but on the
other thread I was informed they were between Mulege and Santa Rosalia, but as I drove that stretch today, nothing matched. It is obvious that
Concepcion shows in number four. .
Mulege got hit hard, but from San Bruno north, I found very little damage today between Mulege and Santa Rosalia. The rain, for the most part, landed
up in the mountains and the arroyo which flows into the estuary by Punta Chivato and the Arroyo which leads to Rio Mulege carried massive amounts of
water, but from Punta Chivato to Santa Rosalia, there was not much rain to speak of. My house in San Bruno showed no indication that we had much
more than a little wind and some rain, but Mulege got hit hard in the river section.

The highway was paved north to Santa Rosalia by 1972, and already started to head for San Ignacio in mid '72. So I would guess the bridge was built
around then (late '71)?
There was no tall bridge on my first trip to the tip in '66. Just a low one, then along the river to the Serenidad and on south to Comondu and La Paz!

Wow, the memories you must have before paving .... And bridges.
The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.
