I finally arrived home and WOW...all of a sudden the phones and internet started working again!!! Gas wasnt a problem anywhere.
the devastation on the highways is amazing. The area between Guerrero Negro around the ejido has massive problems...the water washed away all the
earth/sand below the edges of the highway so the pavement has just fallen down in big pieces and only a bit up the middle is passable in many places.
Same with the highway out to Asuncion around the ranches and beyond. There was still water running in a couple places as well. I will add photos
tomorrow. I can imagine the Abrojos road is the same or worse. An amazing amount of water came down from the Sierras....a veritable deluge.

Where was this picture taken? |
Looks like someplace flat...Maybe the area between Guerrero Negro and Vizcaino? |
It wasn't noted - but best guess is Hwy 1 between Vizcaino and Guerrero Negro.

over on the shoulder. |

A friend of mine made it to San Jose del Cabo this afternoon. Left San Diego two days ago. So, it can be done. He was driving a four runner. Quite the
adventure I imagine.
No b-tchin\' in the Baja.

Thank you Bajagringo, Shari, Bob & Susan for all this valuable road info. Road conditions reported by the Nomads are priceless.
For those that couldn't wait for better conditions and are currently heading down the peninsula or planning on it, Drive safe and be patient. Please
continue to report back on fuel availability south of GN.
Is there fuel at Pemex in Mulege?

Big mike 58 just arrived in the area seeing his posts this morning.. He has a home in the Orchard, I would expect he will be posting a road report as
soon as he can... His will be current as of yesterday friday...
Kay and Larry actually headed down on Tues so should be there... no calls as I don't think cell service is working with US cell or anything in Mulege
yet.
watch for his report.. he has a lot he is trying to accomplish...

Just heard from him second hand. Says he wishes he had waited. He had to beg for extra gas in Loreto by saying his family was stuck down in Cabo.

I talked to Saul Friday on land line. He said Larry and Kay are there in La Fortuna!
Saul said he had 1.23 meter of water in his store, city water is flowing, no power until later this week (best case) as most CFE lineman are down
south dealing with issues on the cape and there are numerous power poles down outside town.
I leave southbound today.

This was posted to the BN Facebook page this morning:
| Quote: |
Drove yesterday from Mulege--which has gas at Pemex south of town but bank & ATM closed w/ power still out--to Guerrero Negro. Gas available
all towns except San Ignacio, bank & ATM open Sta. Rosalia. The only treacherous water on road was vado at San Ignacio where stream ran over
pickup's bumper on bed of rocks/boulders covering road; too deep for passenger cars. Major road repairs with wait times encountered only north of
Vizcaino, where large chunks of NB lane broke away, one carrying Los Pinos semi now lodged drivers' side down in muck at the bottom. Huge soil-moving
operation underway there, wait time an hour or so with muggy heat and abundant flies.
