No - never found.

That thread was already over a hundred pages when I first discovered Baja Nomads! Not exactly the kind of reading that I want to take on, so if
anyone has a synopsis in a few paragraphs, maybe this is a good place to post it.

the man disappeared, after heading south in a vehicle with surfboard etc. Various reports and descriptions were offered by family and others.
Months later, his car was found by a rancher near Catavina after numerous alerts/posters etc. were distributed by Nomads and other travellers. No body
was found. The car did not appear to have been burglarized/stolen. Camera and other personal gear was still inside, including (I think) a wallet.
Vehicle was towed to Catavina Police yard, where it sat until family of missing man could retrieve it. They drove down from SoCal area.
No remains have ever been found, I believe his disappearance remains unsolved.
As another person goes missing, thoughts and prayers to those who are searching for loved ones in Baja.

... the man disappeared, after heading south in a 4WD vehicle with surfboard etc. . |
Not that it matters much now, but it was a 2WD... Had it been a 4WD, the outcome may have been totally different.

Most seem unaware to let air out of their tires to get unstuck, too!
His 4Runner was not on the road, but up a ravine, or narrow gulch, just off the side two track road which was off the graded Punta Canoas road.
If I was to guess, he just parked out of the way to camp, and got stuck.

DK
Agree about airdown..and most don't think about beer,water,pee,salt water,soda, in sand or Palvo...BTW, they where gonna pull the serria juniper guy
from the capitol,and at the last min. decided to let it stay for a pope's visit..then change with a known space hero !! Myself have found a few
strip's of old carpet to help sometimes...The main trick is not to stop and get stuck in the first place !! and you can say to anyone,,,,you ,have NOT
been in Baja till you have been sorta stuck at least ONCE !!! K&T

I had gotten myself thoroughly stuck in an open diff (yes I use the pkg brk trick) 2wd suv with a moto on a hitch rack, a few miles north of Punta
Bufeo, and after removing the bike+rack & airing down, was still having some trouble after jacking the truck up, putting wood down, etc. Some
folks from the nearby houses came over and mentioned wetting the sand down, and sure enough it gave me enough run to get up on top of the sand and
back to the main road.
Not that you want to go dumping your water in the desert, but it can sure help in sand 
The kid that came by said, 'that's baja'!

Well I did request a brief overview of a thread that was out of control before I knew this site existed. Whale-ista provided one (thank you very
much!) so I think we are done here!
