police. But then my wife says I exaggerate |
You're implying some shady action on their part? Pretty unlikely, considering the context. |
Yes, I agree "pretty unlikely".

Graham .......bacquito
If you need to go onto my property to look at desert rat's car....you have my permission. Have cleared this with the security and manager/neighbors.
Anyone else here wishing to look at the car...you MUST contact me first. There is no open permission for anyone to enter my property.....or Campos
Ocotillo. Dont try.

I called the Sargeant at Punta Colonet and he left for the day but the Commander at the station told me to report the missing person to 066, that no
one had heard of him. Since I am in San Diego they gave me a number to call 011-646-1723500. I then spoke with Operator #4 who again was very nice
and he filed a report with the police and the Ministerio Publico in Ensenada Jurisdiction which I believe covers Punta Colonet and the San Pedro de
Martir area. I guess this number the emergency number, is the number you dial to file a missing person's report. I gave Ron's full name, Ron
Christian, and he is in his 70's. he wanted me to send the pictures on Baja Nomad to email favitia@c4bc.gob.mx. I am waiting for a confirmation
email that the received the pictures, but Graham might want to send them to this email as well.

Bacquito and I just arrived in Colonet and spoke to three of the officers in the police station. They knew nothing about Ron and had no information.
We gave tham a picture Bacquito printed out from our trip last summer.
I informed them of Rons age, Texas drivers licence and the circumstances of the disapperance and they said they would be making enquiries in the park
and along Rons route to Ensenada.
Thanks EnsenadaDr for all your efforts. A missing Persons report will be a good move.
Bacquito and I are heading to the San Pedro Martir to see what we can find out... knowing where Ron exited that pickup is crucial.

This is Desert Rat. I have just arrived in Laredo and this is the first opportunity for me to use a computer. I am safe and sound. I am utterly
and totally embarassed by my actions that have caused my fellow Nomads to become so intensely involved working in my behalf. I will explain what
happened after the ride to Ensenada with the construction crew just as soon as I get my thoughts together. I owe apologies to all that were involved
in trying to come up with answers to the question as to where is Desert Rat. Please be patience with me. Thank you one and all.

I think we all are thrilled that you are alive! This is great news.
The bad news is I was hoping to sell that car for 8 fish tacos :-)
Very glad you are okay. Deno

D'Rat's explanation of events after ride with construction workers.
The construction crew dropped me off at the Ensenada bus station so that I could catch the next bus to Mexicali. I arrived in Mexicali around 10:00
that same evening. I checked into the Border Motel right away and promptly fell into the bed and slept until 5:30 a.m. I quickly hustled back across
the border to catch the first bus to San Felipe. I had the driver drop me off at El Crucero ( the intersection of highways 5 and 3. About a quarter
of a mile north of inspection station there is a ramshackled restaurante called "Michoacan" where my car was parked. (My car was never left at Deno's
place in Campo Ocotillo.) Since the restaurante was a perfect jumping off place for the beginnig of the hike, I got permission to leave my car there
for at least 10 days.
I picked up the car around 11:am and drove down to Campo Ocotillo to talk with Abril the owner of the camp. I wanted to tell her as soon as possible
to contact Deno and let him know that I was back and to stop any attempt of a search effort. I was two days overdue.
Abril was not home so all I could do was leave a message at her gate and hope she would return soon to get the message to Deno. I waited for her
until 2:00 pm. I was so exhausted by this time that I needed to head back to the USA and start recuperating from the ordeal. As I pulled away from
her house, I met a woman across the street and stopped to see if she would also relay the message for me. She said that she would, just as soon as
she saw Abril.
For some reason, it seems as yet that that Deno never got the message. I don't know why!
I drove back to Calexico that afternoon and drove on to Yuma, Az and spent the night at a Motel 6. I got back home to Laredo today at 7:00 pm
(Sunday, the 25th).
Tomorrow morning I have to drive to Monterrey, Mexico to pick up my wife. Once I am there, I will re-read the postings that y'all have posted
concerning the episode and I will try to respond to each and every one of you.
Again, please have patience with me. Thank you! Desert Rat.

Ha! Teaches you a lesson not to send third party messages. Only message that I finally got was what I posted...and you can see that it seems a little
distance of the situation. Feel free to use the parking area again...but next time directly contact me (or whoever it is where you park) as it should
had been done. Just glad that you are not dead in some ravine.... which most here where starting to take bets on.
