You mean the Arco station and the nursery? |
That's where you turn right to take the short cut to the Sycuan casino and Alpine via Harbison Canyon.

It is that, Barry. Lots of 5 acre ranchitos and other parcels. It would be a nice community to retire in, but maybe not on the 94.

Not to mention the Indian Village Casino that is one step closer to approval?l:

“Location, location, location,” said Robert Mesa, Executive Councilman for the Jamul Indian Village. “We apparently have the best location if we
could get something built.”
The tribe wants to build a $360 million Hollywood branded casino. It would be three stories and approximately 200,000 square feet. The casino would
feature 1,700 slot machines, 50 live table games including poker. Plans also include multiple restaurants, bars and lounges.
“It’s going to ruin the view and environment here we don’t need that here,” said Gilbert Morales, a resident.
“It’s huge and that’s what we’re concerned about,” said Marcia Spurgeon.
Morales and Spurgeon are part of the group Jamulians against the casino.
“We actually took a survey with all registered voters in Jamul and 97.5 percent did not want a casino out here,” said Spurgeon.
The group cites concerns with the environment and destruction of historical landmarks, but most importantly they point out traffic problems the casino
would bring.
“It’s right beside Highway 94,” said Spurgeon. “It’s just a dangerous road, it’s a two lane, it’s a very old highway.”
“More traffic’s going to cause more accidents,” said Morales. “It’s just going to cause a lot of headaches.”
“We’re the closest to downtown 20 to 25 minutes that’s why we’ve been pushing this the whole entire time,” said Mesa.
Tribal leaders said the project was almost two decades in the making. This is the fourth casino project the tribe has proposed.
“We’ve seen all these casinos go up around us so of course we expect to see those same benefits for our tribal members,” said Mesa.
Residents said the tribe’s benefit will be Jamul’s ruin.
“It’s going to ruin the area the landscape and it’s not good for this city,” said Morales.
San Diego County Supervisor Diane Jacob released a statement Monday regarding the Jamul Casino. Jacob also added the project would trigger a traffic
nightmare, create fire and other public safety risk and destroy the area’s rural character.
“That’s the last thing this back country community needs,” wrote Supervisor Jacob. “It was a bad idea when the Jamul tribe first proposed a casino,
and it’s a bad idea now.”
If approved, construction could begin by end of 2013 and it would take two years to complete.

Pretty country indeed.
But too many indocumentos remarked that it would not be safe to wilderness camp overnight. I brought this up with CBP and they said the bad guys use
FM handhelds and zero in on anyone they can rob then they go back to living in El Cajon illegally. There are a lot of sensors buried within 5KM of the
border. Don't be surprised if your cross country jaunt includes a pass-by of the green and white vehicle.

This trip didn't go without a Jeep rollover and plenty of work, winching it back onto its' 4 wheels. A CPB vehicle would have been a welcome sight.
Read on.
The Jeep had a broken left rear window, a severely damaged left door, damage to the front fender, some damage to the hard top and a broken left
mirror. it drove fine .but might need to have the alignment checked,
Everyone worked quickly and efficiently to right the Jeep. This reinforces why we Four Wheel in a group rather than alone.. I think we had the Jeep
rescued and back on the trail within 30 minutes even though this was a "Tricky" rescue.

Something very strange here--------I have really detailed "land status" maps of the area in and around Jamul, and there are no "Indian lands"
indicated, tho there are a LOT of Indian Lands within San Diego Country.
Was there some kind of "land exchange" that gave the Indians new lands? (my status maps are about 30 years old) Where exactly is this project slated
to be?
On Edit-------I went on line to see what I could find, and yes, there is NOW a 6 acre plot of land along Highway 94 NOW designated as "Jamul Indian
Village"--------I wonder how and when the Indians got that set aside as it sure does not show up on the older LandStat maps.
