Note:  Starting today, I am going to pretty much slow down on reports relating to Odile.  There are a few loose ends, electricity and airports but with the cell phones working and elec. on it's way I'm sure everyone is now communicating personally with family and friends. Roads sound good except for maybe LB to Cabo but there's not much reason to go there anyway for the time being. Airports are a big issue so when someone actually flies into SJD or LAP on commercial let us know ASAP! 
A lot of people signed up to receive the BPE because of the storm and if you're not a "regular" please feel free to unsubscribe.  Send an email with Unsubscribe on the subject line.
I'm hoping later on some of our survivors will tell their stories for the BPE. They are a tough bunch and went through a lot.  Of course, as always,  if you have any new info, please pass it on to the BPE.
And...a great big thank you to everyone who provided great info and pictures.  We are a Team!

Any word about electricity being restored to La Ribera and Lighthouse?  They don't want to be forgotten!
============================================

Alaska just cancelled our tickets on the 21st of October.  Anyone driving down to the East Cape from Northern California with room for 2 adults (both experienced drivers of the peninsula)?  Alanpomeroy@gmail.com
=============================================================

There are two options as of right now: fly to San Diego, cross the border to TJ, and fly Volaris, Air Califia, Interjet, or Aero Mexico to La Paz. Or fly from wherever to La Paz. Won't be the shortest flight or the least expensive but if someone really needs to get here, those will be the best options as of now. La Paz airport is open and operating.

The Mexicans and their families are the worst affected here. There is no work so they have no money and cannot buy food.   Many people that are not here have opened their hearts and their pantries to these folks who work for us at various jobs. Many, many thanks to these kind-hearted souls who, even though not here physically, are still thinking of others and are trying help those less fortunate.
================================================

CFE (Electric Company) is staying with us tonight! We open our home, hearts and restaurant here at Buenavista Beach Resort to these 41 dedicated, HARD working guys that will be working here the next few days to restore power to us!
Bless their hearts, they have been stuck since Thursday on the mainland at the ferry. The soldiers and Red Cross had first dibs on seats.
They will be working on putting up a new tower north of us around San Bartolo. The work should take 2 to 3 days and then we should have power! Amen!

Baja Mexico Relief

 Perhaps those of us in the States could solicit help in our communities such as churches, schools, other charitable organizations.  I have spoken to a few and they are willing to help out.  We could even reach out to other people on our email list and ask them to solicit help from organizations in their community. 
There have been some charitable organizations mentioned in recent BPE so send these to the people who can help.
Let's not forget the four legged friends.  Go to Los Cabos Humane Society, they have great pictures of destruction  and of areas where the volunteers homes have been destroyed.  They have a PAYPAL account.    
===============================================
