Harald Pietschmann, a well-known and highly respected 4wd instructor and guide, lives in La Paz, near the finish line of the Baja 1000. Though  much of his own property was destroyed by the storm, he reached out to help his neighbors. The community has the strength and spirit to rebuild, they just lack the resources. Friends of Harald is working to raise $5,000 to help them buy supplies before the end of November. Please join us in supporting their effort. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.barlows.us\/donate.html\" target=\"_blank\">Make a donation or purchase raffle tickets here<\/a> and follow their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/FriendsofHarald?hc_location=timeline\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook page<\/a> for updates. (Note that the fundraiser is coordinated by Barlow Adventures but all funds raised go directly to Friends of Harald for the community rebuilding project and are not used for administrative or other purposes.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"four columns\">\n<hr>\n<p><strong>CURRENT WEATHER<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><div id=\"awe-ajax-awesome-weather-paris\" class=\"awe-ajax-awesome-weather-paris awe-weather-ajax-wrap\" style=\"\"><div class=\"awe-loading\"><i class=\"wi wi-day-sunny\"><\/i><\/div><\/div><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> jQuery(document).ready(function() { awe_ajax_load({\"location\":\"Paris\",\"units\":\"F\",\"size\":\"tall\",\"override_title\":\"Paris France\",\"forecast_days\":\"3\",\"hide_stats\":\"0\",\"background\":\"http:\\\/\\\/usnomadstudio.com\\\/usnomads\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2014\\\/11\\\/paris_street_gr.jpg\",\"custom_bg_color\":\"#cccccc\",\"inline_style\":\"width: 225px;
