Driving North

I saw the devastation south of us and wondered just how the bay north of us survived.  Boca de Iguana lies between 2 arroyos, and when the rains hit both arroyos overflowed and the small town was buried in mud ~ about 1 meter deep.  None of the pictures I took showed how deep or how devastating this was. One couple we know are still uncovering their stuff.   They have been washing clothes since the 14th, trying to dig out and decide what has been ruined and what can be saved. One of their sons is trying to revive the small electrical things - fans, drills, toaster, hair dryer for mom,etc.  Their 3  vehicles have been hosed off and are awaiting parts - but a section of the road from Guadalajara to us has been buried under the side of a hill just outside Autlan, so all materials have to go the long way 'round through Manzanillo.  They just might get one vehicle out of the 3 running again.

The resort farther north, Blue Bay, survived well - only a bit of windfall - the lawns and plants look just as beautiful as ever.  So, if your plan is to visit Blue Bay then you have no worries at all.
