Can´t she ride back with Roberto? He is going back and forth to Ensenada and I think he is leaving again tomorrow.

You would expect family to help, but then..............??

Take Bob & Susans advice:

Get a FMT in Santa Rosalia, then either hitch a ride with someone going north, or take the bus.

With this post you should get an offer. A lot of people are starting to head north about now.


I wish I was stranded in Mulege!:spingrin:

I can relate to that.

There's a nomad who logs in as 'awfulart' here and every time I see it I read it as 'awfulfart'. :(

Now, if you would have just got in your vehicle, hauled Burro to Mulege to get your better half,him/her. you would be halfway home by now.
Just a thought.:biggrin::biggrin:

Maybe she doesn't want to come home!
You can't tell me that people who live in Mulege don't know how to get to TJ and the border. If she wanted to come home she would have asked someone there how to do it.

Alan: Did you just say what I think you just said? LOL!! I've been married to her for 35 years. I meant "her", not "his". We're just so frustrated over this!

Gadget: I'm not sure why, but I guess I've never gotten around to going down there. My wife and kids fly there, but I haven't made the trip yet..

toneart: The original plan was that Roberto agreed to drive her back to San Diego. He's just too busy right now to have the time to drive her back as originally planned... enough said.

Oh, and fishbuck.. she drove down there with my mother-in-law, so she doesn't have her own car to drive back to the border.

I spoke with her on the phone the other night and she did bring along the receipt for her Passport, so things are looking up.. she's going to see if she can board the airplane with the paperwork she has, or if her mother might be able to drive her to the border after all.

As far as why not just popping the top off another cerveza and propping her feet up on the coffee table is because something is going on at home here and she needs to get home as soon as possible.

Thank you again for all of your help and ideas, I'll keep all of you updated!

Mike

This is indeed a very interesting tale. I hope SHE, you had us a little worried there Mike, gets home safe.

35 years huh, boy they sure haven't done a very good job of impressing on you how very beautiful that area is. I'd get on them for that, you're missing it.

The helpful TJ consulate. Now there's a novel idea.

If I had in-laws in Mulege I'd be all over it multiple times a year. Do they want to adopt a 50 year-old curmudgeon?

Hell, I'll go get her just for an oppurtunity to see Mulege again!

Unbelievable!

Think it over real good before you make a move on this. Wife there, me here. :rolleyes: Also absence makes the heart grow fonder is what they say. :smug: This might be the break you were looking for! Order meals on wheels and that will cut your exspenses in half! Call in Maids and More and then with the money you save Travel any where you want to go! See, there always good in every bad situation. :P



We all want a peaceful world, filled with love and laughter, but we fill ourselves with anger and hate trying to fiqure out how to achive it.

Just a little tidbit of info for you since you haven't been down there... If you give her a bus pass and a fist full of $50 dollar bills she can get anything and anywhere in Mexico. I think I can understand why you don't go to Baja:O...If my In Laws lived there I would Vacation to Hawaii as well!
Maybe after everything gets sorted out for you, you can take a boys trip to Hawaii or something and get "stranded" with a couple cervezas.....

:lol::lol::lol:

No kidding. This sounds like the desire to return doesnt equal the desire to have her back.

It's not that hard to accomplish............and the family who runs Huerta Saucedo would know that in spades.

Things have changed there recently Hook. I hope the park retains the beauty and care the Saucedos instilled and maintained for so long.

Or, she should ford the Tijuana River to get back???:?:

Sharks, Cypress help me out here.
