Yes, and it's such a pretty drive along Telegraph Canyon road to 805...with an AAA office in the mall just east of 805....pick up a Baja map...

Wear your seat belt on 94. Casino opened today, free liquor is flowing. We are taking bets for date/time of first head on fatality due to drunk gambler.

...its 27 miles from the Tecate border to Eastlake Pwy. in Eastlake where you will find three shopping centers: Vons Mall, Village Walk and Eastlake Village Market Place; about 2 miles south from Otay Lakes Rd on Eastlake Pwy. there's 2 more shopping centers: Otay Ranch Town Center and another Vons center... more info here:

..down west on H street there's a Costco... a lot of options...

Casino grand opening today created traffic jam on 94 stretching from jamul to RSD. Road is essentially grid locked. People lining up to throw their money away! Who ever heard of such a crazy thing?

I thought it was illegal in California to give away liquor. Free booze is considered an enticement to drink as well as a liability issue for the house.

It shows the "Jamul Indian Village." What an overstatement. I used to do a daily walk through there a while back, and it didn't take long. About twenty old houses is all there was.

Tribal sovereignty, and its self-governance, allows them to do things on reservation land than otherwise. Including gambling.

Will members of the tribe split the profits?

Lots of Mexicans will be crossing at Tecate to visit the casino. More traffic.

The tribe has a winner (the house) on their hands.

I can remember that back in the 60's while riding with my dad on our way back to Tecate I could only see -from Hwy 94- a couple (5-10) run down white shacks and old abandoned cars on the hill with clotheslines and a couple of people and animals moving around.

As far as I can remember I was told that land was given to them by Mr Daley who had a beautiful horse ranch at the bottom of the hill (east on 94) and who on owned (owns) all the land around them, these people worked for him and were provided with a place to live: federal reservation? At one point this was one of the issues presented by the residents battling the casino... last night traffic was backed up to the freeway... someone mentioned that it usually takes 20 minutes to drive home: last night 2 hours!!!

I come in to Tecate from Anza Borrego so I probably won't get my tires too sticky on the blood and alcohol.

So evidently there were other opinions about the "reservation" lands. And the tribe had to purchase additional contiguous land to have enough for the size of casino they envisioned (with maximum slots). And somehow they sidestepped an EIR. And it opened before the promised Caltrans improvements.

"... attorney who has waged a one-man legal war against the Jamul band's casino plans, disputes Mesa's claim that newly acquired land would make gaming legal. It's one of a few fronts on which he's fought the war against the casino. "[The Indians] believe," Webb says, "that if that land was in trust status, that it would qualify to allow Indian gaming to take place on it. [My clients] do not believe that is what the statute says. The National Indian Gaming Statute says that you have to have a reservation that is either declared as a reservation by the President, by Congress, or by a treaty ratified by the Senate."

Mesa says that's only half of the story. "The federal regulations on that issue say you can game on land contiguous [to a previously existing reservation]. And all the land we're buying is contiguous to the original land."

Given the generally wretched treatment those "Pesky Redskins" have gotten from us Europeans, including the Spanish, the whole Gadsden "Purchase" should be given to a neutral party (the indians) and let them build casinos to their (and our) hearts content.

Tobacco, lotteries and gambling of those sorts are just a tax on stupidity, retarded math skills and the associated class issues. Taxes that I mostly don't pay. Hurrah!

My tribal friends here in the N.W. look at the parking lots at the casino and say, "White gold!".

Consider todays world if the locals had had some immunity to european diseases and some sort of tamable beasts of burden.

The americas and Africa didn't have big animals that are tamable. Imagine the europeans running into Zulu warriors mounted on rhinos! Yeehaw!

Tribes can purchase land and place it in trust, thereby making it part of their sovereign lands.

It is ironic genius that small, poor tribes in California are now fleecing the gringos!

Personally, I haven't gambled in many years. Gambling is only for fools. (I'm glad the Indians are fleecing those fools.)
