To those expressing views about our Congressmen Rohrbacher, I share both views equally, because I feel we have to. I am not impressed that it took
months to even receive a phone call from their office, but once it came, wit their apologies, we had to use whatever assistance they offered, and at
least they did do one thing they said they would.
I have not heard from their office after they reached out to the State Dept., so I will be doing that soon to find out if they did anything else
besides that obvious, easy task. I do not have high expectations, but it's become very hard to have any expectations.
Gary's birthday will be April 14th, he'll be 65.
Bless you all for your continued expressions of good thoughts, hope and efforts.

Looking at the other thread this is just that harder to read. I hope something turns up.

URGENT update to our fellow nomads.
Late last night we received a phone call from a police commander in Catavinia that Gary's 4runner had been found. Articles in the
vehicle appear to confirm it is Gary's.. We are franticly trying to confirm and gather more information this morning, making plans to travel there
tomorrow.
At this point, there is still no information on Gary himself but we are hopeful. The vehicle was found by the ocean, not sure where, but we'll report
back as soon as we know more.
Please pray with us that Gary is safe, and that we'll find him now.

The post above should read "Gary's 4 runner Toyota has been found. The remainder of the post is the same.

I would have thought finding a 4Runer in Baja would have been easier than finding a lost 777, especially if it's near the location Gary was last known
to be....I will definately send good thoughts for a happy outcome.

The police commander in Catavina is a good guy (I think his name is Jose) and he speaks very good English. He knows that area very well so hopefully
he'll be able to help you now that you have a solid lead. Good luck; we're all hoping for a good outcome for you and your family.

I hope this is the start of good news and answers to so many questions.
It was surprising to read this info came from authorities in Catavina, which is central/inland, yet they report the car was found near ocean.
Does anyone know how Catavina authorities became involved? Does their jurisdiction extend to the coast?

To help visualize the Pacific Coast nearest Cataviña:
The 'Fish Camp' without a name is San José (San José de la Piedra on the Mexican topo maps). It is at the end of the arroyo with Rancho San José about
10 miles upstream. The turnoff from Hwy. 1 is signed 'Faro San José' and is about 8 miles north of Cataviña... at km. 168. The topo map shows this as
a graded road, and about 41 miles long. I traveled on some of it back in 2007, and some of it was a good graded road, but some deep dust near the
coast.
Best wishes for closure on this mystery!

On the branch of that coastal access road at Km 171 on the southern entry there was a sign last year offering public accommodations at a rustic resort
of some kind. Something like 40 clicks out there. There are excellent campsites on that south road before the fork.
This is a good mystery. (if one's heart is not being broken) There should be some answers found in/on/about his vehicle. Certainly it didn't have to
be him who drove it there. It would be good if something really indicated that he had, then we could mount a search with some hope of success.

There is a woman named Sra Mercedes, her son Isreal who are at the top of the ejido heirarchy at San Jose de la Paloma (Piedra) (this is Elsa's mom
and brother from another long ago thread) that you should look up if you head out that way. they will know every thing there is going on out there,
good and bad.

Oh yes, please consider speaking with the police captain in Catavina if at all possible. I was at Mama Espinosa's this morning in El
Rosario but closed my computer shortly before the family posted this crucial update. Had I read it I'd have made every effort. I read this thread now
late at night, having arrived safely to home in Mulege. Best of efforts, family and friends.

How about NOT speaking with the police. The family said they were going down, so let them handle it.
I'm sure they will let us know what the story is

We need to ask the nomads for some patience ... people are going to go the police dept is sounds like, and we do not need that. Guess we should've
held off updating the site. If you want to add anything, please ...
There's a map that DavidK posted and it's very good, easy to read.
"
The family asks that you nomads to give us today, Wednesday, to do our own followup on these reports, by not going to any police departments or
stepping in just now.
Our family needs to get with officials tomorrow and understand exactly what we're dealing with, so for now, the fewer folks that are not family in
the area the better. We appreciate that you all are on-hand to help, and a God-send to be standing by. If we can just ask that you do just that for
today ...stand by. Please consider that we do not know what exactly we are dealing with, good-bad-or ugly, and as hopeful as we are, until on-scene,
our family needs time to learn first and then process whatever it is we have to deal with. You have all been terrific, beyond any of our
expectations, in your kindness and willingness to pitch in, drive all over, post flyers. Today we just need a little time to assess this situation,
and then report back to you all with whatever news there is. Please just gives us a little leeway to make confirmations.
It's been more than 6 months, it can't be too much to ask folks to wait another day or two. Please.... you must realize how fragile this moment is
for us right now. Thank you all for being there for us, just please stand by for today...
