Car accident Guerrero Negro
Hi,
Long time lurker. Great forum! Am in desperate need of some help right now.
My friend flipped her car right outside of Guerrero Negro today. One of her three boxers ran away when the accident happened and we have not been able
to locate him.
If you are in the area and hear something please call me at 619-2087508. My cell phone works in Baja.
Characteristics of the dog:
Boxer 60 lbs.
Missing right front leg.
Fawn colored.
Very shy and skittish. Will probably run away from you.
I'll post a pic in a few...
Thanks!
john

If you want to you can email me photos and I can post them. Check you U2U at the top right corner for my email. Or I copied these instructions from
another thread
Well, from any photo hosting web site or from any web site, for that matter... you can hot link the photo to appear right here in a Nomad thread. Many
of us here use the free hosting site 'Photobucket.com' However, not everyone has taken a moment to reset the upload size to 800 or less pixels in
width, as per this site's max. frame size... So, some photos will stretch the Nomad page wide, off the screen when they are over 800 pixels wide!
Here is a how to:
You can put pictures on Nomad from any other site using the IMG tags on each side of the image url [img] and [/img]. The photo hosting site will
usually provide you with a link for direct posting on forums.
HERE is my Photobucket how to:
For Nomads who have been posting too big photos on Nomad... Doug has asked (and those with standard 15" monitors appreciate) to limit the pixel width
to a max. of 800.
The sizing is done when you upload photos TO Photobucket from your PC. So, if you didn't do that already... and they are at the full size setting,
they will stretch the Nomad pages wide (on normal monitors).
How to resize them with Photobucket, on your album page:
1) Click the red button 'UPLOAD' at the top of the Photobucket page.
2) At the top of the Upload box that appears, see (in small blue text): 'Customize your upload options', and click that.
3) Choose a reduced size. 640x480 is nice for most photos. I usually only go to the 800x600 size for maps for max. detail on Nomad.
4) At the bottom, click 'SAVE'! Thats it!!!
Now, until you change that setting, all photos will be uploaded to Photobucket at whatever reduced size you picked!
To post your photos on Nomad, use your mouse and copy the link called 'IMG Code', below the photo you want to show... and paste it onto Nomad where
you type in your text... You can post several photos at a time, but I suggest not more than a dozen, and double space between each photo link.
Specially if you add some captions under each photo.

Attached photos need to be under 50k in size for now. Or you can use a photo hosting site otherwise.
You can also send pics to me and I'll downsize and post - or use an online site to do it such as:

how far outside of GN? north or south of it? I ask because there is the Club Vaqueros ranches to the south of GN where she may end up. Let the
municipal police know, put a poster up at their headquarters... good luck.

Right at the entrance of highway 1 heading south. Some of the cowboys on the ranch helped us search for him yesterday and are on the lookout today.

Sorry to hear that.
I´ll be working today in the road between GN and Jesus María, i´ll pass the picture to the guys at the Sanidad Vegetal Checkpoint and the people of
the Berrendo Camp.
There are two ranchs in the zone far from the main road but i´ll pass the word anyway because theyre coming in and out all day.
Ocasionally strays dogs venture into the local dump or follow the "scent" of the slaughterhouse, i´ll take a look over there on my way out.

A 3 legged dog shouldn't be hard to spot. Sounds like they were just south of the Y Intersection (entrance road to Guerrero Negro).

Easy to do around there. On both sides of GN there are lots of places where the road is very narrow and there is no shoulder and enough of a drop
off, that if one drops a wheel, it is easy to roll a vehicle. It happens. It is why everyone is so happy that they are adding shoulders in many
areas --- some places they have just pushed the dirt up to make a shoulder and it makes a real difference.

Yes, and lots of copies posted everywhere. Are you still in Guerrero Negro? And by the way, I hope you and your other dogs are OK??

It was in the Y intersection heading south. The rest of us are all fine and we are still in GN. Looking for the dog and posting flyers.
Yes it was a shoulder accident.
Thanks for your concern!

Good grief I departed G.N. going toward Vizcaino at 10:10 AM MDT yesterday which was the day of the accident. I'm glad no one was injured. I am hoping
the dog's instincts draw it to town where there is water. The presence of a visible collar especially one that costs a bit more than the basic ones
will allow locals to see that the dog is not merely surplus canine. Best of luck to you and your pooch.
