Default Desert Rat Picacho del Diablo Hike

Hello all,

Deno from Baja Nomad asked to post this on some other Baja sites which is what I'm doing here. Hope this is OK.

Username "Desert Rat" went hiking up Picacho del Diablo 10 days ago and has not returned yet to get his car.

If anyone has seen him or knows anything please post.

Some info from thread:

What came in this a.m. to my mailbox:

Abril Flores xxxxxx

7:02 AM (4 hours ago)

to Jeanette, me
Hello Jeanette & Deno, I am not sure If I have Deno´s e-mail address right, so Jeanette if you get this e-mail can you make sure to tell Deno about it.
A guy came by this morning looking for me, he Said that Deno´s Friend went Hiking the Cañon del Diablo and left his Car under this guy´s supervision, and He told him that if after ten days he doesn´t show up, he needed to come to look for me and I must tell Deno About it, so I really do not know what to do, yesterday was the ten days. Did he tell you something about this?
Let me know,

Abril

No panic here but: Desert Rat's truck has been parked at my Baja place for ten days now...according to my camp Boss. I thought he said he was going hiking for 7 days......

Anyone here .....knows what his time line is for this hike? Oh....the truck is just fine for however long he may be gone.

BajaGringo,

No photo for me to share. I'll see if anyone has one over at another site.

Thanks for the forum,

Jon

*****************************************************************
Just met Ron in the San Pedro Martir and gave him water, iced tea and some food.

He was beat and dog tired but he asked me to share that he's well and heading down from the mountains.

In fact, he hitched a ride out with some Mexican road workers... I'll post more when I can.

Graham Mackintosh

But just to repeat... he has left the San Pedro Martir.

This is getting weird unless he is on a bus to San Felipe. Take a look at the Desert Rat thread on Nomads

I have called around to all of the hospitals and clinics and none reported to have him there. I wasn't able to get ahold of the hospital in Vicente Guerrero so I sent a message to a friend nearby there asking if he could check. I'll let you know once he has checked in.
