Rancho Es safe for now

Just got word from Glenn and Ellen that the threatened invasion of Rancho Esmeralda did not happen, and the blockaded road to the ranch is now open to all. Efforts by the American Embassy and heavy media attention seem to have been the deciding factors. This morning a couple from Australia arrived by taxi and rented a cabin. So it looks like things are getting back to normal.
