Shari
i think a possible broken leg detoured the chap! or maybe the busted up leg was punishment for preconceived notions, not that we all don't have a few
of those, or more!!!

I AM curious to know what bad vibes turned you off here though????
Look forward to meeting you next time. |
I really don't know, and it makes me feel pretty bad. Meredith and others would tell you I am usually the last person to react like that, and always
telling people not to judge places until you interact with the people. Almost no tourists there, and a real look at local life if what I tend to
seek. If I had been thinking clearly I should have remembered that I already knew about Shari's place! I am going to blame the pain and mild shock
setting in from the injury...
Yes, if some nomads can track down who this is and arrainge a chain to get the money to them I would feel much better. The manager/owner of hotel
Kadekaman seemed to know who it is.
We are in the US for two days nor, the docs at El Centro hospital in Calexico say that even after the 16 xrays they took they can't say for sure no
fracture and want me to get it checked again at home.

thanks Mr.Rabbit...I just wanted to find out if you were poorly treated by someone. The universe is a mystery and our destiny can surprise us
sometimes...all is well and happens for a reason! I shall try to find the mystery jeep and repay the debt...cheers.
A biker that came in that day dumped his bike in the sand too but was unharmed and stayed a week...fell in love with the place! I sure hope this
weekends big group of bikers get here unscathed!!!

ASUNCION IS NOT FOR THE TIMID
Right about here is where the demons possessed me. I kept hearing this voice..."I'll raise you 20 bucks."
and "My name is Legion, but you can call me Jaime."

I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

with big ideas. 
Muddyrabbit, glad to see you want to make things right with the people who helped you. The local Mexicans in that area are the best and one of the
reasons we love the area. Good luck with the leg.

We are home safe, and my doc has me scheduled fo a nuclear bone scan tomorrow.
I believe Antonio is affiliated with the auto parts store just west of HWY1 on the south side of the road if that helps. If we can arrange a chain to
get the money to him I can paypal it to someone.

It can't be broken that bad if at all.
And even if they do find a small fracture what will they do? Tell you to stay off of it for a while?
A nuclear x-ray? Yeah that sounds safe.

I think it was the passenger door. I believe it was his son who came along, Carlos. Not sure what we owe.

the dude will never say you "owe" him. come up with a # that you feel was equal to the service the guy provided you. 2 tanks of gas plus lunch?
whatever it was, now that you're home it is alot harder to realize. think back to when you were looking for a ride and would've given your left nut to
get home.....
the guy helped you out and as it stands now, he'll never make that mistake again for the next poor bastard who comes along!!!!
......i'm just saying.

About $1000 US DOLLARS!
Pretty cheap considering he saved your ass.
Next time bring you bike in your truck and go on shorter rides.
And try to make it back to Juan and Shari's for happy hour.
And don't ride a street bike in the dirt.

'Lo siento, no tengo mas dinero' (I'm sorry, I don't have more money) when you were in San Felipe would have been fine at the time... When you go back
or feel his assistance was 'worth' more, then find a way to send him extra. The message will get through, and if he is like most of the Baja people I
have known... he won't expect more or avoid anyone else in the future. Some people just like being nice and without getting paid for being nice. It's
a concept more gringos should learn!

Depends... If they went there specifically to take him and the bike for a price and then he did not pay... then they will be insulted as someone
has not lived up to their side of a bargain.

OF COURSE!
But, he did say: "We made it into San Felipe last night in a Jeep Cherokee pulling a trailer driven by Antonio and Carlos from Vizcaino, I cannot
thank them enough!"
which to me sounds like he hitched a ride... ?

So we on Nomad don't get into a philosphical debate, did Antonio drive you to San Felipe with your bike (why the trailer) and for no other reason...
or did you ride along because he was going that way? Did you go via Gonzaga Bay or around through Ensenada? Glad you are home safe... and I am sure
Antonio will appreciate being taken care of, as well!
