ROAD to Gonzaga UPDATE

[makobob]

They were going towards San Felipe but had done work the day before in Puertocitos. We talked it over again and split the party two going home and two going to try for makoville. Wednesday morning two Dodge Rams went mountain climbing again. We passed a family on Tres Hermanas fixing a flat and heading towards Puerticitos. They had drivern in from Guerro Negro after the storm passed. They left highway one at Lake Chapala and drove to the 5 on our side.

So we knew we would make makoville in a few hours. But it was OLD BAJA, between 3 and 5 vechicles had made it through. IT WAS tough, from Huerfinito to makoville is 20 miles. Bridges were out and the arroyos were full of fast drying sand and basketball to ice chest size boulders. At different times both Rams had one tire at least 18 inches in the AIR. Makobob had one tire off the side of a 50 foot washout. Kind of a pucker point but we made it through. 10 feet later we were back on the highway and the last 10 miles into makoville were clear. Finally we were appy campers when we stopped into the restaurant and Clementina made us breakfast. After eating it was time to meet up with the rest of the group who came in a day early and got here BEFORE the storm.
