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!

The south to north engineers must have done it different than the north to south,
I´m sure you remember the bridges went were not completed until after the road was paved north to south.
Negotiating those river beds was always a challenge in my "65" Valiant wagon.

Hey, Richard. Glad to see you are posting. Did your place on the river flood badly? How about that ol Hound dog?? I spent the nite at Cuesta the
week before and saw Pepe and Sandra. Hope they arent too stressed. Squeeges and a fire hose! Good luck with cleanup and when you can any fotos would
be appreciated! Suerte. Tomas

Mosquitos in Mulege...
is the least of the town's concern right now.
Wear some Skin So Soft.
edited to say, sorry for a bit of snipiness. Everybody is dog tired and slightly depressed today.
To your question: There is some danger of Dengue as one case has been treated in southern Baja this summer. There is an issue with mosquitos in town
in areas with wetness. The municipalities in the whole state have an active spraying program in place and areas of debris and standing water are
treated with calcium carbonate in order to dry up asap.

It's difficult to imagine that those living in these vulnerable areas would be caught unprepared for anything. It's not like it's the first time for
any of these hazards that come with wind and floods.

problem here dennis, is that a lot of folks living in these vulnerable areas don't have the means to deal with some things...like repellant, netting,
food, shelter, etc...it all takes money and there just isn't a lot of that around right now...so yeah, they all do what they can but there are limits.

When we were there in April while exploring around we noticed this new development south of town. Looked like Two nerw Unused Schools and At least 100
new unocupied houses. Whats going on with that? It looks like it would be a ready made fix. and get people out of the flood plain.

....EngineerMike mentioned that the rotary isn't active right now,,,but he can receive paypal,,make sure funds go to the right place...
from Mike......''I will see that Saul gets it, send paypal to mike<AT>fleming.cc
if you mark it "Gift,flood releif,Saul Fleming" it will come 100 cents on the dollar rather than commission deducted. Last flood he & his family
made up food packets for us to distribute to the most desperate families & seniors. Many tears were shed in thanks. Guess its going to be needed
again. When I have your money I'll call Saul & get his end handled. Guess I've got to get down there soon to manage my reclamation effort, so I
can get the cash to him.''

Micah-
On the PayPal page where you send money, below the amount you enter you will see PERSONAL. Click that & make sure GIFT is selected. That
eliminates the commission.
Thanks for thinking of Mulege.
Anybody else who wants to donate for food for displaced families, feel free to also donate & I'll see Saul gets food packets out right away.

No, Saul Davis is not the owner of "the green market on the highway" he is the owner of the market at the far end of town and one of the most stand up
guys you can find anywhere. JMHO. Jim

That is about what the government thought when they built these little houses. They had a certain amount of money and built them as cheaply as
possible. They have a small kitchen which will allow you to sit at the table, open the refrigerator, wash your hands, stir things on the stove. They
have a bedroom (only 1) which will not allow anything larger than a double bed, a small bathroom with shower and stool. Since they were built with
gov. contractors most of the workmanship is pretty shoddy and already you can see stucco falling off and leaky roofs, as well as windows that sort of
open.
They have a whole bunch, in a small village in Mulege and a larger set of them just south of the Technolgy College in Santa Rosalia. The ones in
Santa Rosalia are on a beautiful bluff looking out over the ocean but not one has a window facing the sea.
Both projects have had serious problems with electricity, plumbing, water supply and have been seriously rejected by the people who are eligible to
move in. If you own another property that was hurt in a hurricane or flood, you can trade into one of the properties but you give title to your old
property.
If these houses had been built by someone developing, they would have built them better, probably for about the same money, but would have done a lot
to make them attractive and sellable (if not why build them).
I have friends who have used salvagable materials like plywood, opened up barrels, etc., etc., and they have a much better personality than these
houses. In addition, most people live in a neighborhood and enjoy the company of their friends and family, but they are forced to move into a
"compound" away from their friends and family and in most cases, away from work, market, church, and the things that make their life go around.

Capt. The yellow store on the highway in Mulege's owner is Pauncho.
And re- the new housing south of Mulege: There is no shade. Far from downtown with no public transportation to and from.
The flood plain people don't want to give up their family lots and homes in Mulege to live in a displaced barrio.
There are some of these little houses built on the hill just off the Cadeje airstrip - with no shade and no water. Who wants to live there?
