Campo, CA – Saturday, June 14, 2008 (Flag Day)
Save Our State & Mountain Minutemen will dedicate a long section of border fence that they encouraged our government to build. The 40 mile stretch of border between Jacumba & Tecate is rugged terrain known for its porous fencing and easy access to a major American highway. For this reason, temendous amounts of drugs and illegal aliens have been crossing through the region for years.
The Mountain Minutemen have maintained on outpost there for over 2 years, working with the Border Patrol to spot alien intruders and have them arrested. Save Our State members have joined in this effort in recent months to help push for a real solution to the smuggling problem rather than merely watching the holes. It is from atop a tall hill less than 2 miles from the Campo Border Patrol Station dubbed “Patriot Point” that Bob “Lil Dog” Crooks has guarded the area and called home these past 2 years. It is here that the dedication will take place, just west of the southern terminus of the Pacific Coast Trail which runs the length of the western seaboard to Canada.
The two groups contacted the Army Corps of Engineers, after describing the gaping holes, gaps, and areas of no fence at all, convinced their representatives to come see for themselves the dire conditions. After their thorough inspection, it was decided to reevaluate the fence building/repair schedule to take care of the enormous issues discovered.
Work begins in June with the dedication held on Flag Day. Bus transportation from North Orange County will be provided. The event will start at 11:00 AM and continue until 7:00PM.
