I
am writing a play for my high school English class, and I have decided to write
about Hurricane John, and what it was like. However, I was not in Baja
when it happened, and so I was hoping I could find some people who were there
during the hurricane who would be willing to share their accounts of what it was
like, so that I could get a better understanding. - Xan Mitkus

There seems to be
some vandalism happening in our neighborhood (Las Brisas/San Ignacio). The night
before last (at around 2:00AM) someone heaved a large rock right through the
rear side window of our Suburban. Nothing stolen since the alarm blasting must
have scared them away, but made quite a mess. For several weeks before, I have
had gas stolen from the same vehicle, even with the locking gas cap on securely,
they just cut the fuel line going into the tank. Anyway, if you can, keep your
vehicles off the street. No one has ever come on the inside of our gate (that I
know about)! so that seems to work. - Marc y

Regarding
the turtle hatchery, there is a decently-built sign frame at the top of the
dunes just before the turtle corral (end of Calle Mango). Does anyone know what
the sign used to say and if it can be used for a sign designating that the
corral is the turtle hatchery and to PLEASE NOT DRIVE on Baja beaches? It is
actually Mexican federal law. If someone wants to come up with a good bilingual
sign that will fit in that large frame I may pay for it to be printed and
installed. Too busy to do it myself. - Jim Elfers

"Feel
Good" dog story about Gitana...
Now that "John" has hopefully been put
behind us, we can now provide the story behind the miracle reunion with our dog
Gitana that was mentioned back on Aug. 19th on BPE. After our auto accident
north of La Paz on June 3rd, we were taken to the General Hospital in La Paz,
and then med-vaced to Calif. on Sunday night. We had friends searching and
asking people if anyone had seen our dog around the accident scene. nada. (we
heard later, that a person at the accident site had heard a dog crying and was
going to check it out, and if they could find her, bring her to the hospital),
again no luck.
Over the next 2-3 months, thanks to our good friends and
neighbors, and the Mexican insurance adjuster, a major "dog-hunt" was conducted.
rewards, flyers, radio spots in La Paz, door to door visits, etc. again nada! by
late July, we were imagining the worst case scenarios. and had all but given up.
Then, in mid-August we got a e-mail from our Mexican insurance adjuster, saying
that he thought someone had found our dog?. we couldn't believe it, and the
"roller coaster" emotional ride started again. This guy, heard from another guy,
that heard from another guy. that a rancher way back in the hills had a dog
working on his goat ranch that met the description, had the collar on (which
also had a phone number on it?????) The insurance guy took a digital camera to
the ranch, took pictures, sends them to us. sure enough. its Gitana. 78 days
later! Now the negotiations begin. their are now three people involved including
the rancher who want the reward, negotiations began and money paid, and our
insurance adjuster picks her up and takes her to his house in La Paz, then the
next delivered her to our friends in Los Barriles, we were told that. "she knew
she was back home again! We immediately booked a flight down to pick her up.
Needless to say, it was one emotional "reunion". she peed, we cried.
incredible!. miracles really do happen!
We got more of the story
later. it seems that this ranch where she ended up was almost five miles into
the hills from the highway and accident site, it took her 2 days to get there,
with no water, in the 100 degree sun, predators to contend with, etc. she ended
up following some livestock back to the ranch, where the water source was. The
rancher said that he hated to part with her as she was one of the best "goat
herders" he had. (she had a lot of practice in Los Barriles) If she hadn't have
been a "Baja street dog" with that tough, survival DNA they all possess, it
might not have been as happy of a ending. - Russ & Marylu
