They are still mopping up here at Serenidad after a little squall. Its been weird weather in BCS since we landed in La Paz on teus. There has been
lots of wind and some rain daily.
The drive from La Paz to Everisto was easy but going over the sierras to C.Constitucion was very slow and rough. I donīt think many have done that
route since Odile?
We will see wassup on the pacific coast manaņa.
Baja is still pretty cool decades later!

San Evaristo pass
Chippy, The Baja Sur 500 used that road in mid April as part of the course.
When I tried it in November, it was not passable, so some work was done on it.
By the way, what were you driving?

I saw and heard the storm over Mulege this afternoon. It never made it across the bay though.
Bahia Concepcion where life starts...given a chance!

AKgringo I saw the ribbons for the race in a few places but they looked pretty faded so I didnīt know how old they where? It looked like they moved
some boulders but it was pretty rough going. If you where going south (down hill) it would have been easier for sure.
Iīm driving a VW Amarok diesel 4x4. I have modified it a bit. Slight lift with tires, bilsteins and springs + alot of steel under armour.

Russ it chased us away from Bahia Concepcion around 2 pm. When we got to Mulege it was worse and the streets where running with a lot of rocks and
mud. Half hour later it was all systems go!

Temp actually up 10° from noon
It was mid 60s earlier today, now it's up to 76°.
Heavy rain intermittent all afternoon, occasional thunder and lightning- but drier now.
Weirdness continues...

Just a great weather day in San Diego. Lots of records set I`m sure with many locations getting 1.5 inches of rain. Thunder, lighting, the sound of
rushing water, the smells, the humidity, the turf that may turn green again. So far so good (apologies to Ateo), hoping for more tomorrow!

Thank man! I was stoked to see some rain today. I put out buckets and collected gallons and gallons of water to dump on the grass at a later date.
No, not THAT type of grass.

It will be nice to see the grass in San Marcos get green again! The city turned off all irrigation to lawns along the sidewalks, etc. It is very
tropical here tonight... near 80š and humid!
We had two lightning filled storms today... first one early this morning, after sunrise and then again in the early afternoon.
Be safe and don't fly any kites!

 what a
textbook example of your inability to see the forest, for the trees.
Thanks for that!

Was there anything incorrect with the content of my post? Perhaps the need for drama has blurred your vision amigo? Have a nice day and enjoy your
drought. More rain predicted today!
