Lovin it in RP!
We just received almost 3 years of rainfall. We don't need any more water.
Hurricane a comin .

Agreed, but damn, the Southwest as a whole really needs this and a nice wet winter to help break (or at least stave off) this extreme drought cycle we've been in. I have to see it as good news!

Even when the water ever recedes I can't imagine what the Encanto road is going to be like, IF there is a road for us to get out of here.

That’s what I was thinking, and we’re hoping/planning on coming down next week. Best case it will be like it used to be 25 yrs ago when we first started coming to Encanto.
You need a resupply airdrop.
You are very kind

Perused the estuary this AM and talked to some newcomers (yes -- people arrived as of late). Dorada / Miramar Road still closed, although no longer submerged. Caborca Road Kilo 17 still impassable by smaller vehicles . . . . Large SUVs and Trucks can barely traverse, (A Honda CRV barely made it, despite that trucks going opposite direction generated waves up and over the hood). Learned that those heading to Dorada / Miramar / Mayan have:
1. Braved the Caborca wash via Jeep, etc . . . . then entered the Miramar Road via Mayan Palace. While some have made it as far eastward as Dorada, it is a white-knuckle ride through soft, deep sand behind the dunes.
2. Availed themselves of an apparent boat shuttle from town to Mayan (per my observation, as full boats go eastward and return empty).

Thanks for the update.

I was afraid that would be next. They wouldn’t restore power until the water receded enough to bury the lines which would be several days at best. I wonder if people still have backup power available? We still have our generator but haven’t maintained/started it in years. What a mess!
Generator or solar options, although most got rid of the solar when electricity became available. Good idea to run the generators periodically as a precaution.

Encanto is served by a transformer in Encanto. Dorada and Miramar are served by another transformer (the one at the entrance gate). Not sure that that is a consolation to those east of Encanto, but hoping that if one goes down, it does not necessarily include the other. Meanwhile, we too have the old generator to rely on if it responds to a kick on the side . .
PS: Miramar, if you end up doing a beach shuttle, be sure to stop by with passengers on your way (Dorada sea wall area) for a beer!

Yeah, we keep saying we’re going to do it but there’s always so many other maintenance problems that take priority. Damn salt air! Radiator probably needs replaced by now, everyone else’s did, salt and aluminum don’t get along. Battery, hoses, coolant, oil change... Makes me appreciate the propane fridge’s we used to use.
