In my belief system God will take care of these things. You may call it anything you like. Carma, Feng shuai, natural law. The end result is I don't care. Retribution is counter productive. I was in a position where I had many options open. I knew what was going on in the area. Reports are over 20 houses robbed in La Joya last year. I left nothing in my Vacation home I could not afford to lose. Truck and boat included. I have always operated on the walk away principle in Mexico, and always will. One only needs to look to Punta Estero to realize all the broken hearts and dreams. I will not make that mistake. Call me a crazy fisherman, but I still love BAJA.

On a happier note. I moved most of my things to Puerto Penasco. I have equal access to the SOC and my home in LV. Plus, My wifes family is now very near by.:bounce: Viva Sonora:lol:

Bumping this up to the top b e c a u s e being the helpful neighbors that we are, we kept an eye out for Minnow's vehicle while we were in Baja for the summer.

We remembered the important detail of the bajadotnet sticker and that Minnow's vehicle might be the only one in Punta Banda sporting such a thing, SO....

We may have found it, or them, so we took photos to be sure before sounding off the alarm.

The first possibility is now being used as the Campo La Jolla trash truck.



We tried to get a closer look, but the stench from the flounder on the fish stringer was just too much...



I wanted to ask if they would be willing to trade the fish and stringer, but Dern put his foot down on that one.



So we decided to take a break and head to the beach for some fresh air and to re-group and what do we find????



This young man trying to make a quick get away with yet another possibility.

So Tom, we did our best and came up with only two sets of wheels that might fit your bill.

All kidding aside, I hope it all works out for you in Cantu and your new spot on the Cortez side.

P y D <*)))><

Edit: trying to resize the photos

No wonder he wants it back. That's a nice looking ride. The truck, I mean.
Then again, Yho could carry him to Sharkys in the wheelbarrow.

That sucks Minnow....


Really am sorry about your rig Tom. Nice rig too... something 'Grunty' about it.
As was mentioned earlier, there are a lot of trucks like that down there. It's probably worth more, and less trouble just parting it out. Hope not.

Tom - it's making me sort of nervous to have a house on the same street as yours. We were there briefly in June and all was well. The neighbor that watches it has proven himself to be honest and he and Carlos keep close watch over it. Hopefully all remains the same. And hope your luck improves. Are you guys there full-time now? We are living in Boise and only get down there occasionally. Probably won't be December until we get there again. Say hi to your sweet wife for us. Dave & Marilyn
