Hi, we left Mulege yesterday Jan 26th and made it to Baja Cactus before dark. We crossed the river bed with no problem, it was dry. We are driving a
2wheel 3/4 ton Dodge pickup with a cab over towing a small utility vehicle. We will be heading out about 9 this morning to go to Ensenada. If we
have internet access where ever we are I will keep you informed on road conditions. Right now I am sitting in a room at the Baja Cactus enjoying
life. I took pictures yesterday but I have no clue on how to post them to this site. I read the directions but became lost. Until this evening lets
keep our fingers crossed.

Thank you!
You can post multiple photos here from another web site (like photobucket.com)... just select a reduced size like '15" screen', or 'large' when you
upload the photios from your PC to photobucket... then from photobucket, put the image links here on a Nomad post of yourd... [img] (image url here)
[/img] (with no spaces) is what the image link will look like...

Rode my motorcycle from Punta San Carlos to El rosario, on the way back got rained on pretty hard on the 40 mile dirt road . There were some little
rivers running again. Clear at the beach and don't know how much El Rosario got.

We left El Rosario this morning at 9 Wednesday and just arrived in Ensenada. It did sprinkle a little along the way. From El Rosario to Ensenada we
crossed 4 bridges under repair. Some we crossed on the bridge others were detoured around. We were quite happy that we did not have to drive through
any water. I did take pictures and will try to post the link tonight or some time tomorrow. There was a lot of road work along the way where it was
one lane but no waiting. They were closed for just a few yards. For today the road was totally passable we will see what tomorrow brings. For us,
tomorrow means driving to Tecate and crossing the border to go home. We will be back soon.

when i passed through el rosario today southbound there was quite the scene at the blown out bridge south of town...they had fashioned a one lane
temporary road out of sand/dirt and an 18 wheeler had collapsed it and rolled over on it's top down the embankment....drew a crowd, i must
say..they're making headway on the bridge but everything is passable now...

Will you please report how the construction zone is on the road to Tecate, when you can? I want to take that route on Sunday. Thank you.

Tony, do you remember to take the road from Guadaloupe to old hwy 1 ? In Guadaloupe just keep going straight (pass the Pemex on your right). Was
advised of this the end of December and it avoids a lot of construction between Guadaloupe and Ensenada. Unless things have changed, with I doubt.
Jump in anybody ?

Noticed several caravans of trucks started heading South of San Quintin last night about 9 pm, finally saw gas & propane trucks heading for El
Rosario today. There may be a few delays but it seems like the roads are open to more than just 4x4 traffic which was all we saw for the first few
days after the storms. Phones & Internet are intermitent, usually OK but there are down times.
My husband went to El Rosario yesterday and said they were working on both sides of the bridge, the water swept away nearly everything in the arroyo.
A friend who lives their said the water rose to the back of his property on the East end of town but didn't flood his place.
Safe travels to anyone heading South, most of the damage seems to be from El Rosario to Vicente Guerro, just e-mailed a friend that was thinking of
heading South from the US to let him know the roads are open again

TJ morning news says that buses aren't running south yet and that if you need help getting across the arroyos be prepared to pay 2 to 3 hundred pesos.

so it appears that the dreaded new rain didnt really appear in the north then...correct? We had a big squal here on Wednesday but only for a few
minutes and it's raining around us right now and looks like we might get a few more squals today...but all roads are fine.

Hi Shari.....Not much rain here on the last "storm." It was a non-event. Clear and nippy right now. No wind except for all the hot air blowing
around on another thread. I'll stay over here.

GREAT PHOTOS OF BAJA MESS/ BRIDGES!
The URL is just too long for Nomad page to make it all blue (hyper link)... So, use the link feature above the message typing area (a world with a
chain link in front)
 to make a link here...

Thank You David, I don't know how you did that, I tried and couldn't find that little icon. I will continue to work on it when we get back home. We
are leaving Ensenada today and crossing at Tecate.
