Mulege Update?
We are heading to Mulege at the end of the month for clean up and to set things up for our winter there. We are hoping for information on how things
are coming along. We hear that electricity and water are on. The condition of the Lighthouse Road, the tiendas and restaurants that are open etc. We
have been returning to Mulege for 11 years, as was said earlier "Mulege is a decision of the heart".....our heart is still there....see you all soon.

Nosotros Mulegin@s están en nuestros pies.
We Mulegin@s are on our feet.
Yes, we were hurt again, but we're better now.
You'll see the town cleaned up and spit-polishing.
The riverbank has changed course and the road to the lighthouse changed accordingly, but it's quite passable to all vehicles now. Paid crews are out
cleaning up the river's edge of debris.
I understand funds are earmarked for fixing the road to Loma Azul-- don't know the details, but here's a link added below; scroll down and you'll see
Mulege County - Loma Azul listed and a brief description, translated says, " access to Colonia Loma Azul, first phase ". This probably means they'll
be working on the Lighthouse Road. Don't know if this is federal or state moneys. I'll report on a new thread when it begins to happen.
Lily's restaurant at the Lighthouse, El Patron, is presently closed. She will open later on and is certainly available for private gatherings arranged
in advance.
All grocery stores are now stocked and open as are the other businesses & services.
All services are now restored to all the town's colonias - water, electrics, trash pickup, telephones and internet.
Bring mosquito repellent and your happy attitude for another season in this little village that keeps on keeping on.

Thanks for the updates. A friend is considering flying into Serenidad while we are there, has the landing strip been cleared for use? Also, was asked
if Scotty and his Mom are back in town? What is working best for the Mosquitos? Our place is on the river, even though our landscape has changed once
again, the Mosquitos and bulbos(sp?)-wee little face fly things-will be too happy to see us. Many thanks for onsite info. We will be there soon.

Mosquitoes are a major problem and many people are suffering from Dengue Fever. Off seems to work. Scotty is not here yet. South river road is slowly
being repaired. Boat dock on south side is gone. Road to the Misson is still out, but there is a workable detour. Clean up crews are everywhere and
thins are getting back to normal.

Heard that $$ vouchers were passed out yesterday and Mulege was a complete zoo. It's good to hear the some folks will have some money for repairs and
staples. I suspect the line at the bank will be long so I've put my supply trip in off another day. The boat dock is still on the beach North of me
from last report. There are a lot of folks returning here now and fishermen are out but not getting great reports from them.

Russ, We loved that dock, hugely functional and very convenient. Couple of questions for you:
1. Is the dock salvageable?
2. Is it worth towing back to the ramp?

friends flew into Mulege (Serenidad) last week in a tail drager,,, must not have been too much of a problem... I think they are flying back out this
next weekend.. They are working on there casas' in the Orchard.....
That's the only info we have heard on landing there...
Would also suggest anyone going down take some mosquito dunks or pellets to put in still standing water areas... try to abate as many of the skeeters
as we can....
Home Depot has,, any farm and ranch store,, Amazon,, Gemplers on line....
have a good trip and stay safe....

I arrived in Mulege by motorcycle yesterday (almost exactly 40 years after riding here the first time) and was pleasantly surprised by the condition
of the highway. Downtown Mulege looks pretty much same as ever and most all businesses are open as normal. The reports about the river roads were
accurate, heavy damage on both sides. I went by the Serenidad a couple of hours ago, saw one plane land and another take off. Both tricycle gear
Cessnas. 3-4 more planes on the ground. In the grocery store this morning I saw locals using what appeared to be vouchers in various denominations,
also at the Bomberos a load of mattresses and a pickup full of food packages. Word is that the back country roads are rapidly being repaired but
roads are still very rough.

$$ vouchers are passed out twice aweek, different days for different colonias. No problems at the atm. They get 1000 pesos for cleaning their casa,
after an inspection. There are food vouchers too. This started only 3 days after the hurricane, take note Fema.

Mosquitos are worse than ever. In fact I hardly remember them being a problem in the past 25 years. At least for me. Off does work well.

Thanks for the info on the mosquito dunks/pellets and various repellants! Our friend who is flying in has landed at Serenidad many times before but
needs to know if the runway is ready for a Twin Commander to use now? Hoping to fly in the first of November if possible. Looking forward to enjoying
our traditional gigantic Grande margarita at the Serenidad swim up bar.

Rotary is trying to put together enough money to rebuild the road to the boat launch area in front of Serinidad. Right now the pangeros are driving
across the runway, and BBP is working to finish repair of it, so when they get finished, No more traffic will be allowed across the strip. If we had a
little more $ we could do the job ourselves, or we will have to partner with some other organization, which will slow down the job.
I must say the response to our earlier request has been really good. If we get about $2,000 more, we can get that road fixed pronto.

could I ask?
how much of the road by the ramp are you repairing and what is your cost to do that?

I am sure when people donated money to the Rotary they were under the impression the funds would go to charitable organizations to help local people
in need. Fixing the boat ramp is probably low priority right now given the amount of local people that need help.

There are roads that people need daily that are completely closed. Mission road, the under the bridge road, etc. $2000 would go along way repairing
these roads that many people use to get to work and to town.
