Would like to have more information about the dams....
The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

I am going to take some pics of the work today. There are putting in a new river right now in the valley. The riverbed when finished is going to be
10 meters deep and 100 meters wide. They are doing three damns with the largest one made for holding water for the Bolero Mine. Supposedly the mines
paid the government for the project and I think that is what got the project moving. Always heard they were suppose to happen but did not believe it
until I saw it with my own eyes. If someone can tell me how to post pics I will put some pics up. I will also take some video.
Sorry about the video. My daughter took that one. I started to get dizzy watching it. LOL. The lease is $221 per month.

However brief the film was, the house looks great.
You should have an easy time selling it.

Perhaps a bit premature to predict "a new river" and "no more floods".
Mother nature builds rivers....not mining companies or government engineers.
As you know....some dreams are nightmares in disguise

Have to be honest in that I came very close to buying down there a few years ago. But the floods made me change my mind.
Mulege is a wonderful place. I would love to know more details about the dam project. If they can fix the flooding problem, I'll be in.

FYI, we did not get flooding before because the river was not full of crap. Take away volume and the water has to go somewhere. Now they are making
a very deep river bed and building dams to stop the water flow. The mine put in the majority of the money so the government started doing the work to
complete. But I guess the negative people on this forum will always be grumpy and have nothing but negative things to say.
I will post a video in a few minutes of the work going on right now. They are building a 11km long river bed 300 meters wide and supposedly 30 meters
deep. They have 7 earth movers and now 5 D9 doing the work. They have also widen the roads going into the mountains so they can bring heavy
equipment up to build 3 damns. They already have built one.

FYI: We have had a LOT of floods in Mulege over the years, and it has had nothing to do with the river being "full of crap" It is pure volume. When
the water is 2 feet below the hiway bridge, nothing, nothing is going to stop it. I hope the dams (not damns) do some good. We shall see...If you
havnt been here and seen it, you can not even imagine the power...

It's not an issue of negative or grumpy people....
Trying to sell a house in a known flood zone is a difficult thing....but pretending it will never happen again is an issue of denial and/or
naivety....sort of real estate BS thinking/talk.
Mulege is a place dear to my heart and I would sure like to believe that the dam and river work will solve the problem of where 30 inches of rain in
four hours is going to go....I am just not convinced that the issue is that simple.....but I don't have a house in a flood zone I am trying to sell.
You can put lipstick on a pig.....
I have been west of Mulege near the height of land after tropical storms and have seen flotsam 10 feet or more up in the trees/cactus, etc....and I
don't think they will be managing floods that high with dams and deepening the waterways (San Raymundo).
I hope I am wrong.
I am not being negative as much as I think I am looking at the realities of climate change and its effects on "normal" weather patterns.
So, sorry the business and home didn't work out for you and your family....but if your optimism about dams etc is real, why sell the Oasis house?

I actually purchased another house in the "flood zone". I am not closing the dive shop and I am not leaving the area. I believe that this will
alleviate the problem hence why I say you are so negative. Why do you even post on post of other people? Keyboard quarterbacks are always the best
online. In person, not!

Here is the link of the construction going on.
http://youtu.be/DyPrQDCS9-E
Next time I take the RZR back to the mountains I will post the construction going on there too. It amazes me that the people that do not live on the
river always like to slam the people that do!!! I will enjoy my new house on the river also!

Having viewed the video, it appears that the "11km long river bed" is in the centre of the flat valley floor, near to Mulege. So it will still drain
downriver into Mulege? Where are they building 3 dams and will they overflow into Mulege river, or out through the low area in the vicinity of
CREAD, in the northeastern area behind Mulege which leads over towards Santa Ynez? To go in that direction, it would need a channel constructed.
And another thought...30 meters deep? Is that below sea level in the middle of the agricultural valley?
Having seen how high the river rises, I wonder???????

Motoged, you are a guy that comes once a week a year to Baja. I have lived in Mexico, not Baja, for 9 years. My wife was born and raised in Mexico.
You live in Canada. I guess because you belong to Baja Nomads that makes you Mr. Mexico and the authority on Mexico. What a joke!
