Hello all. A family member of mine just built a casita on the other side of the river from the wrecked subdivision with the terra cotta roofs. We
havenīt seen any photos, so I can guess that no news is good news. It's the camping spot that Manuel keeps with a big Mango tree and other domiciles.
Do any of you know how he and his family are doing?

FancyLady- the reports on Manuel's place are not good, fairly similar to the terra cotta roof subdivisions. i.e. some houses down or "gone." However
we haven't seen any photos yet.
Stay tuned, as I'm sure they will show up as conditions for access improve.

Has anybody seen Ed? First house in Don Chano's
He was going to stay over the summer, I think and his house has probably been washed away. Has anybody seen him? - I don't think he checks the
computer and I was wondering......
I have heard from Fam. Villavicencio (Pancho Villa's) and they all made it and are dealing with the devastation as best they can. Can't wait for the
restaurant to be serving Yolanda's tasty chile relleno's once again.
Tourism is the lifeblood of Mulege, so when the damage is assessed and the basics are online, you should encourage folks to come enjoy the beaches and
spend some dough in the town. Muleginos are resilient and will be smiling at everyone soon enough. The sad days will be behind us soon.

I hope when Tim...Yolanda...rebuild that it looks exactly the same, smack on the sand. Sheets of plywood, tin, funky spare parts. I love that place.
Really, we should gather together things to help them "rebuild". How brave is that? Building a frail structure smack on the sand. I think is it
wonderful and amazing. A feeling I get when there...don't know, just involved with the land, the locals, the water. We don't want to be rational and
talk about rebar and building codes. I hope they rebuild it exactly the same as it was. Mulegemichael and I are in love with our community, the
wonderful people we have met and adore, the river, everything. By the way, our house is still standing. We are lucky, the lucky ones. Blowing down
there with a generator, pressure washer, wet vac, blablabla. Devoted to loaning out these things to help our neighbors. Come on. Stop the peeing
match. We ALL love being there. We ALL love our beautiful location and our friends. Remember peeps, the locals are losing everything. Bring down
what you can. We are in their country. Contribute.

Great post I have already went to look at two Travel Trailers to do just that. We just purchased our casita in the orchard on the river and finished
rebuilding it from the last one.Stayed in it two weeks and left Aug 6th. Will not build again,just park my trailer and enjoy.We lost everything. But
will still return.Sorry for the people that are from there.

OK, one more thing. Insurance? We know people who have spent a year...more?...trying to get their insurance to pay for Julio problems. We decided
we don't want to essentially be in an insurance hassle/lawsuit for year. Buy low-end furniture. Get reliable helpers. Move your boats to higher
ground. Then just replace your stuff next time. We do NOT want to wake up or go to sleep thinking about some jerk at an insurance company not
calling us back or paying off. It isn't worth the stress. Why are we down there? The lovely people we meet, the beautiful land, the stunning water
and fishing...our community. Insurance? Come on kids. Forget it. Love your lives and your families, the people in our communities, the spirit of
togetherness, or your solitude...whatever you "get" from your experience. Don't expect Baja to be like the States. God forbid we change it to evolve
into that! Stay focused. Get your butts down there with things to help....like they say on an airplane. Secure yourself, then your kids. So clean up
your stuff, help your community. Stop bickering or feeling sorry for yourselves. Aren't we all down there for the biggest adventure of our lives?
There is risk. Stop being puss..... and start being strong. OK, I guess I might have alienated a few peeps, but I mean it. Get strong and stay
strong. Stop the friggin' whining and get with it. Meet me at Junga's when it reopens! I will buy you a beer and toast to life itself...and you.

toneart, I've been thru way more hurricanes than you have, never cried for pity or sympathy from anyone. When you live in hurricane country it's just
one of those things. The govt. had signs on both sides of the Rio after John advising people not to build along the Rio. Yea, if telling it like it is
places me in your POS catagory, you can put me at the head of your list. You probably have a long list.

If "mud people" is your reference, I was talking about the Palmeto99 use of the word.
OK...I'm not paying attention.
