Smuggling Horses

Campo Minutemen have twice observed a new occurrence at the border this month - horses. On the first occasion, Kingfish noted a man on a horse, leading two other horses, who appeared to have saddles or some type of back. He called this in to the Border Patrol. An agent came out, spoke to Kingfish, and advised him that the man had been spotted earlier, riding along the Border Road with just one horse. They had observed him, earlier but lost track of him. The Border Patrol met the man and questioned him.

The next week, Kingfish, was alerted by his dog, Buddy to a group of four horses standing along the Border Fence. There were no people with the horses who did not have saddles. A short time later, a horse trailer pulled up and loaded the horses into the trailer. The trailer was so heavy it got stuck in the dirt. At the suggestion of the Border Patrol, Kingfish assisted the men so they could proceed, and the Border Patrol could follow them and try to determine what was going on. The Border Patrol described the men as "persons of interest" but were not able to provide additional information about the investigation.

Argentine Filmakers at the Border

Report from Gaget Dan

On September 11, Jawbone,James and Gadget Dan went to a flag raising event at Camp Vigilance, attended by about about 80 patriots, including Ridge Runner,Viking and Big Bob. The event was covered by local media. Dan met with some individuals who had worked to help secure the Border/Vehicle Barrier fence area. The men were involved in extending the vehicle barrier, with barbed wire fencing, in line at the end of the metal vehicle barrier. They extended their range fencing (6 feet high), some distance to the East. They drilled holes in rocks and boulders to extend the range fence. Dan repaired a damaged spot in the range fence just South of the flag raising area parking lot. The damage to the range fence had all the usual markings indicating it had occurred recently. There was discarded litter, including a blanket,on the North side of the fence brought Dan's attention to the damaged area of the range fence.

We arrived after 1600 sometime & had telcon with Kingfish agreed to meet.I positioned myself at T141. I invited my friend James to come along & get some field training. Later on Kingfish dropped by, met James & we talked a bit...It was cloudy & still cool. BP dropped by around 2200 just to say "hi" & all was quiet..Our post was La Gloria Canyon & West of our point. Bubba covered our cp..the night was quiet.no incidents. Chatter on Ch.1.

The remaining days were also without incident. Our presence was certainly noticed. I had enough flags waving I could have had my own parade...Gadget took James out for some field training: pick up litter, id trail markers by illegals, & of course, fence mending...I recall my field training day(mucho tired)...Howard & Viking Dave visited on Saturday morning & we all went to the flag raising event.No goonies showed up as the Sheriffs were expecting. The event was covered by local media......no activity that night. Plenty of BP presence mid-night to 3 am...
