if you decide to post:   here is an example of Antonio's service and generosity.
Cataviña ambulance fiasco!

It was a horrific drive to Loreto ~ three accidents in two days: an overturned big rig outside of Tecate blocked the highway for more than an hour while gruas arrived; 20 km. north of Cataviña a motorcyclist headed north was hit by a big rig trailer headed south; and there was a head-on south of Muleje.

In the case of the motorcycle accident, the rider had a bad compound fractured leg. We were second on the scene. Couldn't move him, so we went to Cataviña for help. Their ambulance was parked on display on the side of the highway just north of the hotel, with orange cones blocking highway passage, while two young girls collected money in cans "for the ambulance." We said the ambulance was needed immediately, and we got blank stares in return! Apparently it isn't even used. Inside the hotel they were able to call El Rosario for help. Probably Antonio's ambulance I'm guessing.

If anyone learns of the motorcyclist's condition, please add it to the thread. He was with his brother on a separate bike who was not hit.

Desert Hawks did help Peter...
Marla... sorry for the so delayed response but I did not see this thread when it was posted.
The person you are referring to is Peter Rooney. We went all the way to the place of the accident from El Rosario and we found him still on the pavement. Just imagine how much time he had to endure until we arrived. If we would not been here, the closest ambulance is Red Cross north of San Quintín, 100km north from El Rosario.
Peter suffered multiple fractures in his right femur, knee, tibia and fibula, plus several contusions all over his body. By the time we arrived he was also dehydrated.
We stabilized him, applied splints and prepared him to transport. We took him to Col. Guerrero where he was attended and due to the severity of his injuries he required immediate surgery, therefore we ended up taking him all the way to the San Ysidro bo
A couple of weeks later we heard from one of his brothers he was out of danger and recuperating.
We do our best down here to help. Right now our volunteers have been studying for several months to become certified EMT's. We have our evaluations and exams in November.
Cataviña still does not have trained personnel nor equipment, therefore Desert Hawks has to be active all the way down there. We have a huge area to cover, that is why we are looking for a second ambulance and a light rescue truck to better respond to emergencies.
Who knows, maybe in the future we could accommodate a small airplane to cover this area, therefore becoming true "Desert Hawks"... everything can happen.

What can you do to help???
If each Nomad on this board driving on Hwy 1 would stop at the El Rosario PEMEX and donate $20, Antonio could stock and maintain his volunteer ambulance service.
It's really easy.......Antonio's office is on the second floor above the PEMEX station.
I did it, how about you???
Remember, you may need that ambulance one day
perhaps  Ponyexpress subscribers could also stop and when they buy gas at Antonio's in El Rosario, a short climb of stairs to say thank you and a donation of $ 20 or more will help Antonio with his service and possibly extend his service.  good karma, good juju, definitely, good insurance.
thank you, james h
