The family just received an email from a couple that spent several weeks in Scorpion Bay, San Juanico. After leaving the area and 2 days later, they
spotted Gary's flyer and both thought he looked familiar from the Scorpion Bay area. Our email address was on the flyer and we have notified our
contact in Baja with this information. Please be aware if anyone checks out this area. Our continued appreciation for all that you have done.

Given the circumstances and lack of confirmed sightings , my gut feeling is you should be putting your search efforts in the Jardines/SanQuintin area
.

I emailed my friends in San Juanico this morning, asking them to check this thread and if they may have spotted Gary in this area. Some of you may
know them: Mike and Cholie Patterson (former owners of Del Borracho's in Loreto). If I hear back from them and they haven't posted a reply on this
thread, I will post any information that I receive.

I saw a flyer at the tourist info place in the San Quintin area. We stopped to get our fishing licenses. The guys that worked there made sure we saw
the flyer. This was in late September.

I am headed to San Juanico after the baja mil next weekend. I will check La Laguna, Cardon, Datil and Cadaje on my way south. There are a hundred
different roads heading south via the salt flats. Ill keep my eyes open and post flyers along the way. I have emailed local folks in San Junaico the
flyer to post as well. Keep the hope alive! Baja is a big place with lots of areas still unchecked.

Has anyone done this at this checkpoint.
Southbound a few days ago they WERE writing down passport ID numbers as well as license plates.
If not, I can try and see if they'll check the license plate numbers for me in about 5 days on my northbound return.

Nothing to report between Cataviña and Loreto. It is a long shot, but it could be worth checking the list of license plates that have passed at the
military checkpoint just south of El Rosario since the disappearance. All license plate numbers are written down for northbound vehicles only. (This
was the first checkpoint open on our drive south.) We saw no fliers at any of the military checkpoints; nor at the gas stations we used, including
Antonios, in El Rosario. I regret now we didn't carry a stack with us. |

I got a u2u from Blanca regarding this possible Gary sighting and when I looked at this thread for the first time, it struck me that in the posted
photo of Gary resembles a lot of guys who visit the San Juanico area. Very common appearance, age, lifestyle etc to see around here. I'm not
trying to be funny but honestly, if he was wearing a hat i'd mistake him for at least 3 different ex-pats that hang around here and that's not
counting visitors. 4 Runners are very common but the silver color and roof rack would set it apart from most of the older models here.
Unless he knows someone in town or befriended someone with a place here, he would mostly likely be/ or would have been in the campground. I checked
at the campground today (Thursday, Nov 7) and didn't see his car. I've been exploring surrounding beaches more than usual over the past 2 weeks with
visiting family and have not seen anyone camping in the remote areas either.
There are 3 "hotels" in San Juanico. The least expensive one is above the grocery store and his car would be very visible and I haven't seen it parked
there. It's owned by a local family and I don't think they have internet.The other 2 hotels are gringo-owned (Google SJ hotels for contact info) and
the family could contact them directly to inquire. Vacation rental homes aren't cheap here but you could try a couple of the vacation rental agents
found online also to see if he asked about rentals.
If he's a skilled/experienced, (I hate to say it, but a "real, life-long surfer") he wouldn't have stayed here long because it's been a terrible
summer, lots of people, and there haven't been real waves for many months. If he's more of a recreational or novice surfer, he might have been here a
little while but there have been many days with no waves at all and it can get boring (and $$) to stick around here when it's flat.
I'm sorry but I live outside of town and rarely go to town or the town beaches/campground where you'll encounter most visitors so I'm not the best
resource of who's coming and going and the latest haps. We will certainly keep our eyes open for him and the car and I'll see if there are already
flyers at the gas stations and stores.

I've been following this since day one and maybe it's none of my business but everything seems to be going no where and it's a bit frustrating. Has
any professionals or investigators been called in? Has the immediate family even been SOB looking? No offense intended but something seems way off to
me. I know if one of my family members went missing I would have my ass down there looking and pull all resources to do it...
