Seeing as how the 'need-help' call went out at 11:00 a.m. and they were located at 10:p.m. the same day, I'd venture to say that's when the communications ended (not 'broke down').

Watching all the posts and lateral help efforts happening on the thread in that short space of time, I think the Nomads did what they normally do, so now the scrapping can begin. I found it pretty impressive.

BTW, my 'Better Half's' Dad travels back and forth from Sandy Eggo to here every couple of months, and sometimes he neglects to tell anyone of his kids he's on the road.... drives her nertz. Common courtesy is a blessing, forgetfulness forgivable.

It is a very happy ending, without high drama ...DANG IT! :lol:

Yeah.....all ended well, but that is no reason not to run this for a few more pages with what if's, or should have's!




If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

It is a lot clearer if you read Talk Baja. This is a man who ALWAYS calls a lot when he is in Baja and he said he would call when he got to Loreto. His children expected the call because he ALWAYS called, so they, of course became worried when it did not happen. This was the first time he did not call.

Once on facebook, the message was spread all over facebook and other places in both Spanish and English. Robert will be recognized by a lot of people down there.

Anyway, someone who lives in Loreto and knows him knew where they were staying.

End of story --- a very good ending, except for a couple of rightfully ticked off kids. :-)

It was a matter of expectations based on history and promises.
