A week later, our friend Miguel reported damages to our place in San Jose

So we loaded up two SUVs with lumber, tools, food for ourselves and friends ...

…and made the 1600 mi trek through Baja

Lots of plywood to secure windows

Lumber for every framing possibility. Donated extras to the Cabo humane society

The desert had turned into a lush prairie of grass, with fat burros and foxes and snakes

Jacqui in front, Pete behind, with walkie talkies for communication

Highway 1 had been washed out in many places.

Somewhere on the Sea of Cortez

Fresh ceviche for brunch in Ensenada

In the heart of the desert is Catavina, a magical place

We always bring a bag of dog food for friends we make along the way

Lots of exterior damage to our complex at the Vista Encanto

The majority of cars had window damage. The tarps I brought down came in handy

Flying roof tiles had done a lot of the damage

Many of the beach resorts were trashed. No windows left.

Pete channeling his carpentry days as a youth

Even created a workable sliding patio door

Thousands of electrical repair trucks using this arroyo as base. Note the first cruise ship.

Thousands of Federal Police came to provide security. They will be there for months.

Hard to see the cacti. Nothing but green grass.
