No road-closure news (so far) must be good news. My daughter and I will be heading up from La Paz to California this Friday and I really appreciate
the up-to-the-minute reports available to us here.
For those of us who will be on the road really soon, we should start listing our vehicles so if we do get stranded for a while, we might have a chance
to meet fellow Nomads. We'll be traveling in a black Toyota 4Runner with Washington plates. I'll try to catch a cat to take along, just in case.

What are you talking about?
Bajatripper was describing his 4Runner, so I posted a few photos of it from last May... Go to the Trip Reports pages to see photos of all 6 vehicles
that went in to the mission. It was a great trip... in a special kind of way!

Love those pictures David!
Fun to watch AFTER the facts. Wish I had taken a picture from our Van which was up to the axels and exhaust pipe in sand on a beach. But all we could
do is dig and drive two feet, dig again etc. All that afternoon and nothing to show for.
The grass is always greener....
and so, there is always a better spot in Baja

Yah, it is good to record the good, the bad, and the ugly with a camera!
Next time, deflate your tires way down (8-10 psi) and drive across or out of the sand!
Merry Christmas!/ Happy Festivus!

Oh. What the heck. A thread about Baja road conditions and the latest rain reports is probably fair game for narcissists.

Back on Topic, please---tis important to some of us with plans.
Does anyone have an update on the road south of Encenada ----did this current rain cause problems for crossing the river in places like Vicente
Guerrero?
It rained very hard last night here in Imperial Beach and in Tijuana----
Please, really would like to see current reports

Gee Ken. Didn't know you were folkie. I've got tons of stories about Greenwich Village. In any event, gotta agree with Diane that it's most helpful to
keep a thread going about current road conditions. Feliz.

San Diego south to San Quintin
Diana, we just made the trip from San Diego to San Quintin today, (Wednesday). We entered at San Ysidro, pretty uneventful except for some mud on the
road just before Playas de Tijuana. The construction are south of Maneadero was messy with lots of potholes, but very passable. The San Vicente
bridge detour was being worked on when we passed through. One lane only, but it looked like they had it under control. There was quite a bit of
water there right now. All the other bridges (detours) were fine and no water.
Have a safe trip!

Anyone just emerging from the muck between Maneadero and Uruapan with any further info? I should be hitting that stretch southbound early tomorrow
afternoon and will try to post a condition report from Acambaro.

Yeah, George.......looks like a break in the action at this moment. I hope it's over for a while to let the water run off.
You're welcome, BTW.

Supposed to be "La Momacita de Las Tormentas" eastbound out in the pacific. Just keep a weather eye on the idea that a huge storm can once again bust
out bridges between Colonet and El Rosario.
Good idea to carry water, blankets and food for a week.

THANKS ---- with the new bridge not completed, that river can be a real problem---guess the silver lining is that when it runs fast and furiously the
locals collect firewood at the mouth.
So now, we continue to watch and look for updates. Here in Imperial Beach we are predicted to have a break, then more storms. We will be watching
for updates as we want to be in the Vicente Guerrero area for New Years!
