Hey Beverly! Unless we hear something discouraging (like more rain), we'll be risking it as well. I'm pretty confident, based on a couple factors. First, on another thread yesterday, Roberto said: The Caborca road is open at least as far as the Mayan. The water flow across the highway has...

When it was first washed out, access was available via Mayan Palace. If Mayan is still cooperating (and I would think they are), you can take the Mayan entrance; then turn westward to the Miramar / Dorada road (through Mayan's service gate), and past Miramar to enter Dorada from the east side...

I, for one, was confused by the question. Most refer to the road to and past Mayan Palace as the Caborca Road. (I, too, am curious about its status.) But the road to Puerto Lobos would be (I believe) the road beyond Caborca.

Yikes.

So what is a yearly health certificate and where do you obtain it? My vet doesn't even know about such a thing.

Yep. That's what I heard today as well. Was told that an SUV could definitely pass through the somewhat receding washes en route to Mayan.

Just saw a huge caravan of trucks, panga, marine vehicles come up the beach through Dorada to the Miramar Road.

Does anyone happen to know about the Caborca-to-Sonoyta route . . . . if it is a relatively easy trip, with decent road conditions?

Well, to Tyler's original point, it didn't work. Rants and raves weren't duly confined to Rants and Raves -- so I can appreciate his reminder to keep it civil.

Yeah . . . .I meant to say that Dorada and Luna Blanca are served by another transformer.

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...

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...

Oh look -- I flushed one of them out.

Thank you! The political spewing of a few brought the forum to its knees. It would be great again, if it returned to a place to learn about and discuss Puerto Penasco.

Thing is, how would you get to Mayan? While we've traversed the Caborca-Road flooded washes from time to time, this flood -- at Kilometer 17 -- is 2-3 feet deep . . . extends for at least 200-300 yards . . . . is blocked by officials to all but emergency-service (fire-truck-sized) vehicles . ...

See my edit based on recent update!

No! While it was passable late Wednesday night (October 3) via 4-wheel drive, as of today (October 4), the continued dumping of the Sonoita River over the Caborca Road (at kilometer 17, which is still not passable) and into the estuary, caused new flooding onto the Mayan / Miramar / Dorada...

Caborca Road still only open to emergency service vehicles as of 1:00 AM Thursday. No other traffic allowed. Sonoita River flooding at kilometer 17, where the water is 2-3 feet deep.

We, too, are currently (happily) socked in on the beach (Dorada), and can confirm that currently the beach road is impassable. Arrived Monday with the hope of timing into the forecasted short lull in the storm, and with the hope of finding the already-wet beach road still navigable. The...

Nonpaved beach roads often take a couple days to dry out -- depending on the proportion of sand to caliche (the latter prolonging it), as well as the volume / duration of rain, of course. If heading east of Las Conchas on the Caborca Road, washes will fill about a day after heavy rainfall in...
