Wrecked my truck, need a ride North from San Quintin
Hello, had a very unfortunate incident this morning which has left me vehiclesless in San Quintin. I would just hop on a bus, but I also have my dog
with me and of course my belongings in my truck as well (camping and surf equipment). I either need a ride for my dog and myself, and return for my
gear, hoping it's still there, or take it all with me. I am from Canada, and either way will be needing to acquire a vehicle to return home with.

Hang tight amigo! Glad you're not injured and your dog, too. Some Nomads live in San Quintin and may be able to help. Baja Gringo? Post on
TalkBaja. Sanquintinsince 1973?? Be patient as your distress call gets read. Tranquilo. Good luck. Tio

Ok, posted on bajatalk as well, also came to my attention probably not the best idea to leave my gear in the truck while I head to US, so if anyone
was able to offer a secure storage place that would also be great! I didn't have my drivers liscence sith me rts, but I have a copy of it, and have
already dealt with police and insurance and didnt seam to be a problem, its still waiting at the border for me.
DENNIS, my truck rolled over and the front end and box are both quite squished. That may have not been the biggest problem, but the frame also has a
crease in it just behind the passengers rear control arm. Thanks for the help everyone!

Amigo, where are you holed up? Cell phone. I'd call Irene in nearby Colonia Vicente Guerrero at Posada Don Diego. Good call Larry as she has always
extended her knowledge of the area and has rooms and restaurant! Bump. Tio

And BajaGringo has him squared away - with a place to store the gear, watch the dog, and a place to spend the night before taking a bus ride north in
the morning.
Thank you BG!

so the frame is squished? walk away and relish every breath until you are 107 years old! i mean, what do you hope to salvage from it? just go home and
kiss your life "hello!"
edit: i mean, you did have FULL insurance, right?

I spent $2300.00 on a rebuilt (not new) transmission and 3 years later, I had to sell the pickup for $2500.00 Had I left the thing in Baja, and
bought a Jeep then, I would have been so far ahead.

We got Brad all squared away, Unfortunately his truck is wrecked but we are working on finding a buyer for it as the engine is almost new and it has
some salvage value. It is a Toyota pickup so there should be some interest down here. All his gear is safely stored out at our place and Brad left
this morning by bus heading north to secure another vehicle to return for his stuff and Zac, who will be spending the rest of his Mexican vacation
with us...
