On this weeks episode of “Beat the heat”. - Campland

[Ziggy]

Spent many weekends jetskiing from the island directly across from Campland. Hard to believe that was almost 40 yrs ago.

I would stay out of the water at Campland. My dock neighbor In Havasu was there with their kids and one of the kids contracted a skin eating bacteria from the water. He had to stay at Rady's Childrens Hospital for an extended amount of time and lost some limbs. It was nasty!

I remember reading about this one and was so sad for the boy:

3-year-old boy visiting San Diego contracts rare staph infection that caused double amputation

A boy scraped his knee and then had both legs amputated. Rady Children's Infectious Disease said this type of staph in kids hasn't been seen in years.

I think you may be a little bit older than I am, but we sure did seem to hang out at all the same spots in Newport and San Diego.

Im 64. I spent 1980 living in PB & MB for a year being a beach bum.... returned to work in Va for 10 years and then settled in OC in 1990 going back & forth east/ west coast for family business obligations.

This is about as bad as could possibly be imagined for this little 3 yr old from Havasu. Per the article, it began with a fall from his bike. There seemed to be no mention of water contact.

 

[stephenkatsea]

OK - before it's said this doesn't have a damn thing to do with boats. It does seem to verify contact with the water in Mission Bay was not the cause of this. It is about a Lake Havasu Family and their experience with their 3 yr old son, Beauden Baumkirchner. It is extremely informative and emotional, particularly for those of us with kids and grandkids. Amazing little guy, amazing parents, happening right here in LHC. I had no idea.

Thanks for posting this. I have not talked to them in a while because they moved their boat to the Riviera. That said, I am pretty sure they told me he had contact with the water at Campland. The initial injury was scrapped knees, but there was also water contact If i remember our conversations correctly. They were lucky to be in one of the best children's hospitals in country when this unfortunate incident happened.

Campland is a blast. My wife and I lived there for three months over the summer when we were remodeling one of our homes. RollEd down in the coach with our bicycles and had a blast! We would have friends bring their rv’s and join us all summer. Great memories.
