Should I Go on a Road Trip to Potrero?


Woman Killed by Cannonball "Accidentally" Fired by Husband

(Edited to say that I was just kidding with my question; this is a tragedy, but such a bizarre one.)

Back country, San Diego has some really strange people living out there. If you arn't using the campground in Potrero, keep on truckin'.

The area around Potrero was infected by the corporate "contractor" paramilitary army called Blackwater originally. They've changed names and gone quiet, but the billions continue to roll in from their mercenary contracts. I don't know what threat they'd be a passer-through.

We have a paramilitary army IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD which is openly taunting its membership to see who is so committed as to fire the first shot and start the revolution. They are openly calling out the Game Wardens, and USFS employees who check campfire permits and firewood harvesting permits as GOONS and targets.

I would suggest that if you are going on a non-Baja road trip, stay clear the hell away from The State of Jefferson.

[edit]Oh, I've used the campground at Potrero many times and always felt secure.

That's twice today, Goat. Feeling a bit feisty, ain'tcha. You must have broken into your neighbors garbage can and had too much for breakfast.
Now....sit back and review your manual on "Cloven Hoof Masturbation" and....practice.

This guy was an idiot. When I load my cannon at midnight, I always remember to point it AWAY from the house!
