PLANE PARKED ON HIGHWAY 1

Did anyone see the small plane parked on the shoulder of Highway 1 last week in Guayaquil? We passed it heading south on Friday and when coming north the military and police were searching it. They had the seats pulled out and were staring at us as we drove by. My wife snapped a photo. I'll post later.

Yes. I saw it last Wednesday heading South. The police were there. They looked at me as I drove by. I didn't have the nerve to turn around and get my camera out. It was a large single engine plane, I believe a Bonanza.

The price of dope just went up.....or down if the police got it.

When we first passed it there were no cops. Just sitting there in the middle of nowhere. I thought maybe someone towed it from the Guayaquil airstrip or something. Maybe someone was running low on fuel and landed that sucker on Highway 1? My meth habit just got more expensive. Kidding.

It's a Piper Cherokee maybe a "235" model.

Looks like a Piper Cherokee 6. It is the same color as one from Baja Air Ventures. Looks like there is no damage so hopefully no one was injured.

Shows you how bad memory is. I thought it was white with red. Wrong. Thanks for chiming in Nomads.

I saw it Saturday the 9th around 1pm and there was one soldier there looking at it and then when I headed north Saturday the 16th it was gone.

For those of us who are geographically challenged, where is Guayaquil? Close to Loreto?

Oh, maybe 20 miles north of Catavina.

Near the top edge of the map, just north of Hwy. 1... the black square box indicating a tiny village...
