Photos - September storm trips - to Mulege/Conception Bay
Hurricane Jimena. Recently we took a vacation from our vacation (Oregon Coast fishing)... and made some cargo trips to Mulege just after the
disaster. After unloading I had time to photograph some storm subjects.
.
This first series are from Conception Bay.
.
Burros Beach. The waterfront has changed and is a wee bit closer to the front doors of these palapas.
.
.
.
.
.
Bertha's Restaurant is up and running under new management. You're gonna like the new scenery. Believe me....
.
.
Santispac has a gift for campers..courtesy of Jimena. Lots of firewood. FREE LENA! Get it while you can.
.
.
.
Ana's Restaurant took a few hits, but is going strong agian. Salud Russ!
.
.
.

Thanks for the dinner invite, Iflyfish. I'll take you up on that if I get close to Beaverton when done pulling in kings from the Umpqua River near
Reedsport. Thanks for the good luck wishes, Cypress and Crusoe. We're having a ball with these fine salmon! Here's a couple of Baja amigos with a
nice 25lber caught yesterday. The dinner event last night featured the best salmon I've ever had..and I've had a few!

Roger. You've caught MY FISH!!!! That guy was heading east, and he was going to be passing my brothers dock at Winchester just above the I-5 dam.
I've been expecting him for quite some time. First & last time I saw him, he was heading west past my bro's dock at 3 pm Wasn't very big. Maybe
three inches then. Earlier, he had passed through the best steelhead fishing water (Steamboat) God ever made. Was Zane Greys favorite fishing area,
after he learned the hard way about his earlier fishing on the Rogue River in southern Oregon, by writing articles about it. He never wrote anything
about the North Umpqua River (at Steamboat Springs) out of Roseburg Oregon and he fished it for many years. My dad met him one time when dad was
late arriving at his most "favorite rock" to find a stranger standing on it, and fly fishing. found out it was Zane Grey. They became friends over
the years, sharing the rock!!! It's nice growing up in an area that has so much to offer such as the North Umpqua River with it's HUGE steelhead and
salmon!!!!
Great photos.

Phil...
I almost hate to tell you this...but I caught his big brother on the afternoon tide.
I could save a couple of steaks for you? That fry sure grew into a tasty monster!
.
.
I envy that experience your dad had with meeting such a unique character as Zane Grey...one of my favorite reads. This truly is a great
outdoor area and has become a haunt of mine.
..Now back to Scenes of Mulege after Jimena.

Looks like a great time fishing up there.
How did your house in Baja holdup with the hurricane? I hope you didn't get hurt too bad.

It is my pleasure to report that the Jungle is intact.
A diamond in the rough..so to speak. The Jungle lives on.
.
As I drove into town to deliver some more cargo, I noticed that The Jungle is OPEN!

Thanks for your concern, Ken. My house and others in Coyote Bay had a fair amount of wind and water damage, but NOTHING compared to Mulege's
disaster. Hardly worth mentioning..except for the loss of my boat barn..an old friend.
We have had many wind events over 80-90mph here over the years..and thank Dios the roof is still there. There was quite a bit of storm surge over the
seawall, but hey, we live on the beach by choice, so what can you expect?
(Note: for anyone wanting a great salmon fishing trip next fall, I highly recommend the Umpqua River near Reedsport, Oregon Coast..and the Coho RV
Resort. We have a slip within easy walking distance of the motorhome..and truly great fishing. Cut bait and spinner lures work very well.)
Now back to Mulege storm recovery scenes.

Mulege - Jimena Aftermath
Coming from the south over the bridge you can see the high-water levels on the buildings downtown Mulege.
.
A friend, Pancho Anaya, begins the cleanup on his highway grocery store. A job shared by all Mulege tiendas. There has been a
severe loss of inventory. Mulege needs all of our patronage to recover.
.
.
Along with most other lodgings, the Motel Mulege is jam packed..full up with storm workers and recovery efforts. A GOOD thing.
.
.
Yet another friend, Pepe Yee, tells me that the firebrick I need is available at his building supply store..and anything else he could order
from up north. Lots of work to do for all of us.
.
The Mulege post office is up and delivering mail as usual. Thanks to our postmaster, Mario.
.
The Hacienda and it's offices are back in business. Pay your parking tickets and taxes here!
.
Still plenty of dirt and dust around, and wearing a mask is recommended..especially when sweeping up the debris.
.
There will be some new water and sewer lines.
.
.
The downtown water store was operational very quickly. Water was 'almost' an ugly word for a while.
.
Xavier's Las Casitas took a major hit, but work progresses on restoring to it's original beauty. This will again be one of Muleges' central
lodging places.
.
.
.
Amigo Francisco's Equipales Cafe was open immediately to serve dinner to flood recovery workers and displaced residents. It's a second floor
restaurant...
.
.
...Got to get back in the boat ...will post more later...

Hi Mike...yup, Tom's riverside place flooded to the brim again. But all is okay after mucking it out. He built a sturdy home and it held strong.

Hi Richard...sorry, never saw Patsy, but I was super busy with the pickup loads and cargo trailer deliveries, so may have just missed her in town. No
news is good news, amigo. 'Sides, internet communication was/is all screwed up.
MORE MULEGE STORM RECOVERY SCENES
.
BANCOMER is open..as is the ATM cubicle.
.
The old Hacienda Hotel is still being mucked out.
.
Mi compadre, Manuel, has opened his tienda.
.
.
And shows how high the water was inside. Hoo-boy.
.
.
Up the street from Manuel's, Victor is seen cleaning up his Casa Yee tienda. The village is breathing again.
.
.
There are so many downed palm trees that burning them takes forever..and the smoke is heavy over the north river road.
.
.
The lighthouse is now an island...due to the heavy storm surges creating new sand bars..and erasing existing ones.
.

Take a look, David. It's there, but not quite the same...I do think it will be BETTER. The fish are a lot closer to your table nowadays...an
easy cast.
Tim is busy at work, along with Yolanda and the crew..
EL PATRON

You will need to park a little further away- temporarily.

El Patron earlier this year
Will visit them next time down, as it is one of our favorite restaurants. It looks like 50'-100' of beach is gone!
