(11. consulate says San Jose airport closed to all

Loretto(Alaskan Air) We need triple confirmation about SJD &
LAP airports.
We received a call today from the CFE and they
wanted to reserve 30 rooms at Palmas de Cortez for tonight so it
sounds like they are sending in a large crew. We had them call the
hotel directly (we are answering calls from the U.S. right now)
because the hotels are on limited generator power right now (one of
ours at Palmas is down) so they could try to accommodate them as
bsest they can between Palmas de Cortez and Playa del Sol. Hopefully
that means they will be hard at work to restore the power soon.

================================================
La Riviera Mariana: No
damage to any boats. A few ripped biminis, and lost flags. Security
reports that there is 7' of water in the channel. They also
report a couple of trees afloat that were washed in from the arroyo.
These were to be "pulled" out by Panga today (9/22/14). The
Marina office is no longer there, as it was rolled over numerous
times. The guards are still on duty. From Dave Kinzer

Bancomer was working yesterday. Did not need a
Bancomer card to get in the ATM door, either.
Was able to get my daily limit of 6,000.00 pesos on my Chase card.

We got a 'rescue flight' with
Alaska Airlines out of Loreto. We drove our rental car up there and
had no problems. We were able to get a terrific deal on a beautiful
hotel up in Loreto called Posada del Cortes. I'm attaching some pics
taken 9/17/14.

ROAD REPORTS - I will stop printing road reports
going north unless something unusual happens.
a. Road Report: Tecate crossing to Guererro Negro -I drove 12
hours south yesterday, towing a 20' trailer loaded with furniture
and appliances. The road is back to normal, no issues, no flooding,
no landslides. The most interesting thing I saw was the huge desert
lake that forms south of Catavina and the hundreds of cattle
lounging in the mud around it. Repeat, road conditions normal.
It's now 0530, headed to Loreto, more to follow.
b. Yes we made it, the road is ok, some rough
arroyo crossings in Loreto, Santa Rosalia and San Ignacio, some of
them with water but any car will pas just, and between Vizcaino and
Guerrero Negro the road is bad, some places you will have to wait
because in only one lane, the water ate the other lane. It is
going to take longer, but it is ok, plan to spend three full days to
be safe if you want to drive only daylight. After Guerrero Negro the
road is as always, and right after Cataviņa you will pass a water
crossing, but that is it.
