...confirmed to the pictures?? |
Yes, I pasted Mikes photos to a message I sent to all my friends here. One of them answered back that just a short while before Mike was in his store
and had just left, heading south. He could be heading out to Jardines, EL Molino or continue south to EL Rosario. I am contacting again my friends at
Jardines and El Molino with the update on the latest sighting... |
...NOICE--good one BG!... a positive ID within ~8hrs!!
...buying groceries seems like a very hopeful,,positive sign indeed........time to rest

Good Morning, VAILGRL ! Here's hoping today brings news. Please be patient, gonna take some time; also, just a tidbit to steel you a little; if he's
not located in San Quintin today, there is NO INTERNET between there and Guerrero Negro to speak of, and that's over 200 miles, most of it pretty
remote if you're not familiar with that neck of the woods. Nomads are a good networking group (mostly), and won't let up, even when they're supposed
to.... (j/k)
Hope for the best, plan for the worst, and the best to you and yours. One Q~ what do you want to happen if he IS located?
I don't have a BUCKET LIST, but I do have a F***- IT LIST a mile long!
86 - 45*

Yes, if he's located by someone, how should he be approached?

In Baja? Cold Pacifico in hand, of course.

Yes, please approach him. He's left everything behind at home. Tell him how much we all love him, and want him back. Tell him that Ed and Harry went
down to Baja looking for him, and that there are so many people who care, especially me.
If he refuses to come back, ask if he's made arrangements for his house and belongings..maybe with his attorney?? If he's serious, let him know what
this will mean to us, his best friends. We'll be the ones left with dealing with all of this. We need to know what he wants done with everything.
Maybe we can get him back this way.
We can't force him to do anything. He'll tell you he's moving to Peru, or some other story, but it's not true. He's going down there for one reason,
to disappear forever.
Ask him to at least contact me. We were together for nine years, and maybe I can turn things around.

What leads you to believe this so strongly? His instabilities should be known by anyone in contact with him.

....''there's some people that care about you''.....might not be a bad way to start...
....but what if he's a 'tecate & lime' sorta guy!?? .....maybe carry a
small cooler,,or maybe the fellow in the store remembers his brand.

...sorry for my previous comment,,,a couple of replies came in while I was typing,,,
.......Indeed there's a lot pointing in the direction that vailgrl's thinking,,,but there IS hope too---buying groceries gives a huge grain of
hope.....it makes me think there's a REAL possibility that he gave himself a night at least to look at stars,,,get some perspective---that's hopefully
all that's needed for BG or someone to arrive with the cerveza!.......here's 'hoping'

Mood: Let's have a BBQ!
|

Took off this morning at 4:30 and went first out to El Molino. I talked with many of the fishing charters I know and most of them told me they had
seen my post about Mike on facebook but hadn't seen him or his truck. Kept asking around and talked to a couple of guys who thought they might have
seen his truck yesterday afternoon but no positive ID's.
From there went to Jardines and the night watchman told me that he had been there since 10PM the night before and hadn't seen Mike's truck. From there
I drove by Los Olivos campground and no sign of Mike. Continued on out to Cielito Lindo and no sign of him there either. Drove out to the beach on the
southern end of the bay all around to see if he might have camped out there but nothing. Drove down to El Pabellon RV camp as well as out to the beach
there and nothing. I did get to talk to a lot of people and left Mike's description as well as his truck and they all told me they would check on
facebook to see the photos.
I called LeeAnn and gave her a summary of the morning trip and she then mentioned to me that she believes that Mike is probably headed down to a surf
spot on the BCS Pacific side, north of San Juanico/Scorpion Bay called "The Wall". She also mentioned that if he is heading there he would probably
stop in San Ignacio.
Shari - could you share this info on Mike with your contacts in San Ignacio, please???
Edit - Can somebody who is good at this make a flyer???

The Wall is north of Guerrero Negro. It's one of the southern seven sisters points if I remember correctly, it's been a long time since I've been
there, but I think I'm right.
You turn west near a really small town named Rosarito.

We, his friends, know in our hearts what he intends to do in Baja.
Since Mr. Hoff didn't find him this morning, I'm thinking the next stop will be San Ignacio. He'll most likely stop there before taking the North Road
to Scorpion Bay. He's probably going to a desolate spot north of Scorp..
I'll send pictures of this spot (we call it Domingos) as soon as I can. It's a couple of hours north of of Scorp, and then a barely-noticeable "road"
to the ocean. It sits on top of a cliff, overlooking an estuary and sand dunes. I'll try to get a better location from some of Mike's friends who went
there with him.
Again, I can't thank all of you enough..ever.

I don't think he's headed to the Wall..but can't say for sure.
Domingo's in in BCS, a couple of hours north of Scorpion Bay. It's desolate and one of Mike's favorite spots on earth.
I've alerted my friends, Glen and Roberta Horn, who live at the Wall half the year, and they're reaching out to folks who may be there now.
So I'm looking for folks in San Ignacio to keep an eye out for him. From there he'll most likely take the North Road down and turn off to Domingo's.
Is that more clear? I'll post pics that I have of the area when I find them..

Yeah, but it sounds like he's not going there.

If per chance he should pull into Bahia de Los Angeles, we will keep an eye out here. We run into town almost daily.
