Russ had a car accident


Russ, who posts all the great pictures from Punta Chivato had a car accident while going north to California. I do not have all the details, but evidently he went off the road around Punta Prieta and rolled the SUV several times. The police officer gave him and his trusty companion Mason (chocolate Lab) a ride to Guerrero where the police officers wife took care of the dog and Russ went to the hospital. A few broken ribs and he is really sore but the dog is ok.
He got a ride from another Chivato resident and is now at his sisters house in Laguna Beach.

To all Russ Fans. He is doing much better. He went to the VA Hospital yesterday. He has 6 broken ribs and they are keeping him in the Hospital. If I hear more I will post.

Six broken ribs? OUCH. Really sorry to hear about the accident, but happy he and Mason are alive!

And the bright light is that the policeman's wife took care of Mason --- nice part of the story.

Rest, and rest some more, get well.

Russ!!! Did you not have your seatbelt on buddy or did you break your ribs even with it?

Get better fast!

Thanks Pescador for letting us know.

Anyone coming down?


I can take care of Mason here in Mulege 'till he comes back.

If we can get coordinated with Russ on this plus the caregivers in Punta Prieta, someone heading south may bring Mason to Mulege.

So sorry, Russ. Ouch! Ribs hurt like a big dog!

Get well soon Russ. Those rib injuries are painful! Considering the worst case scenario, you got lucky, Mason too.

Let me know if you need anything while in So Cal.
