thanks Shari and Blanca and everyone else for all that you are doing! I know if it was my loved one I would be sooo worried. I think it's important to
keep moving forward with helping to find him, as much as anyone is able to. I wish I could help, I feel helpless.
Baja Nomads with their ears and eyes and connections can be a powerful thing, Let's hope they find him soon! May the force be with all who are
helping!

Thank you to everyone who has been helping in our search to find Gary. I was finally able to get registered today and able to send out an update. We
have family that is down there now and will be going to the last sighting of Gary, they will arrive there tonight or tomorrow. I am getting a nightly
update and I am making sure that everyone is informed as information is rolling in.
We, The Patton Family and & all our Friends, have not withdrawn from finding Gary. We are listening to all the positive thoughts and ideas from
our friends everywhere on Baja Nomad’s, Facebook and Friends of Friends. We are making sure we are not leaving any rocks unturned. We truly appreciate
all the love and support that we are receiving during this time. It means the world to me and my family. Thank you so much! xoxo

thank you for that....I do hope that you followed up Lizard Lips suggestions about calling the federal police junk yards....coralones...as abandoned
cars do show up there. I still think the cheapest air search would be with Aero Guerrero Negro with a couple family members aboard as spotters...their
pilots know every inch of this part of baja and could cover alot of territory in a day. I imagine they are now in GN. The word is being spread far and
wide and people are looking out for him.

Thanks to those who act. Hard to think of finding someone in that vast space while sitting at a keyboard. Found this K38 Facebook link to surfer info
around Rosario, though.

Best wishes to family on your journey,

Very true. They even navigate using road maps.

I am so glad to hear the Pattons are coming down. The response from LV Patton after my last post was surely out of frustration so no worries here. If
it was a family member of mine I would be a complete tool right now.
To the Patton family: If I in any way made you feel that I was being negative I am sorry for that. My intent for my email and post was for charting a
direction for others to follow and I hope they do. My offer to help you is still open however like I said I cannot come south right now. If you would
like to call me please do and I will be happy to discuss anything and answer any questions you may have.
I gave a letter to Delegado Marco Novello on Thursday with detailed information, as much as we have, and a copy of the flyer. I have also contacted my
brother in law who is the owner of the junk yard and his brother who is owner of another junk yard in SQ and they have no information---yet. They are
spreading the word. My other family member with the Mexican Highway Patrol is not currently in town however will return tomorrow and I will see him
then.
You guys are awesome and we need to follow this through to the conclusion. Lets pray that Gary is safe and sound and having a ball!
I also want to THANK YOU ALL for the kind words. Lets do this for Gary. Anytime you go to the market or get gas ask them to hang up the flyer. It only
takes one person that may have seen him and then we can go from there...Good Luck

I've been through this, so I know of what I speak. The flyer should have a reward for verifiable information. Nothing inspires public action like
money. Otherwise, people here are reluctant to get involved. Disappearances down here are not what they are in the states.

....though a 'rewardo' poster can bring up other issues-depending on where you are down there.....
..........in TJ,I'm told it can mean 'kidnap-me' to some
...good luck with Gary,,,I hope all turns out well,,,wish I was down there to help!

Good point.
My idea is to reward for verifiable info only. That would keep the amount at a manageable level.

Good morning friends and family, my Dad and Aunt Sue made it GN yesterday and will be on there way to the loop today with our friend Servas. My dad
mentioned that he saw tons of missing flyers for Gary at gas stations and checkpoints all the way down, thank you for everyone that has helped with
that. My dad says he might not be able to call for the next couple days depending on the service in the area. He will be stopping at Blanca and Less
house so he might be able to email or call from there. I can't say thank you enough to everyone who has helped in one way or another, all your
thoughts and prayers mean so much to everyone in my family.

OK, Chuckie. I'm over and out of it for good, but perhaps you can give us your source of information. It might help to clarify your point.

Dennis, your questions and suggestions have been very good. When looking for a missing person, it is important to know if there are issues as you
mention above, or maybe real money issues, or maybe a criminal issue. It all makes a difference and are valid questions. Is there a possible
reason he might not want to be found.
People on this board have been asked before to look for someone involved in criminal activity and was not told the whole story at first which could be
dangerous. And the other issues can make a real difference in how the search proceeds and how someone might approach the missing person.
So IMHO, your questions were quite valid and the criticism out of line.
For the sake of his loved ones, I hope he is fine and is found --- hoping he just wanted to be alone for a while. Best of luck with the search and
may it have a positive outcome for everyone.
