Are you saying there was some beach erosion?

Erosion, No but the high tide berm was flattened out. Not now the high tide and large waves built it back up yesterday.
Went out towards the estuary the road is still not passable....but... I spoke to a work crew that walked in from the other side. The contractor said
he thought he'd be able to drive in tomorrow. Felix the laborer also walked most of the way in (gave him a ride) He said that Palo Verde had no water
or power and also that our man with the heavy equipment would start working on the road tomorrow. Ruben also said Gorge would start tomorrow. Ruben
said that the road from Palo Verde was passable to the estuary and that there wasn't too much work to be done to get thru that there. Where I got
bogged down was really thick mud as far as I could see. Nice day here and not as hot as normal. More later....

Thanks, Russ. That is a long way to walk from Palo Verde... It sounds like things will be back to normal in a few days though.

They're not walking in from Palo Verde. They drive to the estuary then cross on foot and walk in from there.

Still a pretty long walk. Ruben told me that a long time ago, before cell phones, after a long day of work in Punta Chivato his car wouldn't start.
He had to walk to Palo Verde. I think it took him most of the night.

My gauge only showed 6" but I believe it was closer to 10" here. Max wind gust showed 52mph and I believe it was also a bit higher. No one lost any
solar panels and only a few pieces of roof tile have showed up.

Orlando just stopped by on a newer Polaris 850 quad. He came in on the road. Said, I think, that the only bad spot was after the estuary. That’s the
muddy area I talked about earlier.
edit: He also said Gorge tried to do some work but it's still too muddy to work and he got stuck but able to get his equipment out. Maybe a couple
days before he trys again.

[I was typing when Russ was editing and answered my question.]
I want to find a pic of the white truck that got stuck last year.

Mike just gave me a report that a couple of locals and 4x4's have made it in blazing a track around the mud. Gorge is working with his equipment. But
is still a muddy mess.

That's got to be the detour.
I assume the light house resort fared well?

Bob & Susan, Good find! yep, that's the trail around the muddy area. I wish it ran a little longer though.
