OH MAN...we just got back from our little camping trip and read this sad news...what day did it happen? The strip is very close to town and so perhaps
invites disaster...we all know that punks love to throw rocks through any windows. It saddens me so that such wonderful folks suffer these
indecencies...wish I lived in Abreojos so I could find out who the culprit was and get him dealt with...mexican style. I hope Phil got the help and
support he needed...wish we would have been there to help.

We'll be back!
Thanks for your thoughts. Gretchen and I have made it back to Oregon and are already planning our return to a special place with really special
people. What happened to us was ABSOLUTELY no reflection on the good people of Punta Abreojos. It was an issue of some young person making a poor
choice. We have friends in Abreojos who I thought were going to break into tears when this happened. As the news spread around the community we had
an outpouring of offers to help. Through the help of the local fishing cooperativa, as well as countless others, we made repairs that allowed us to
continue. Both Gretchen and I are ready to head back as soon as we can find the time.

Abreojos aircraft parking
As of when we departed, they had not located the person who broke our windscreen but I'm sure that they have by now. The police and some municipio
legal folks got involved and appeared that they truly wished to deal with the situation.
After our incident I moved our Super Cub immediately across the street to an area in front of a home just to the north of a hangar. The owners of the
home are wonderful people who were anxious to help out. I five dollar contribution to them for the inconvenience would be greatly appreciated. Once
again, please note we will not hesitate to visit Abreojos on our next visit. We've got over 25 years experience flying on the Baja as well as the
mainland and look at this issue as a complete aberration to the norm.
As for Asuncion, if you haven't been there, you need to put it on your list to visit. Shari and her husband Juan Arce are the BEST and I'm sure will
do anything in their power to make your stay comfortable. We really enjoyed meeting Bimbo, Juan's brother in law and the others in Juan's and Shari's
family. I wish you could have seen the excitement of the kids and how they were dressed for the occasion, as well as their parents, when we headed
out to the strip for our morning flights. You would have thought that they were headed to a first rate church or school activity to meet some high
dignitary.

Whew, good news. Been thinking about you and are relieved to hear of the resolution of this. Salud and here's to more adventures!
I know a couple of Oregonians and a Washingtonian who would love to accompany you to Asuncion any time you need fuel etc.

Shari - do the medicos still visit Asuncion? BW and the Aerostar? plus others?
i think its Flying Doctors, not Sams. what are their schedules? they have gone to the serenidad after asuncion before. I see BW there every once in a
while. haven't lately though. a friend in the Sams phx based just sold his 310 and bought a hot rodded Aerostar, he knows BW from their owner's type
association.

Good to hear you are back safe and sound. We look forward to your next visit here.
Stupid choices happen everywhere, even in a great little town like Abreojos. Love your attitude about the whole thing. 
Oh, if you still have our e-mail, be sure to send us a couple of the authors we talked about and we will do likewise.
John and Diane

Los Medicos voladores only come a couple times a year...not sure who BW is though. We have been getting more fly-ins lately which has been neat...a
new place for baja pilots to discover.
