Report From Gadget Dan

During rainy day Friday (Dec.11, 2009), a few Border Watchers from the Campo,CA area, decided to leave the wet dirt roads near the Border, for the Border Patrol to monitor/watch in their four wheeled drive vehicles. A few of us moved Watch operations to I-8 and Sunrise Hwy. Right off the bat, (upon arriving), one of the Border Watcher's spotted a load vehicle on the East side of Sunrise Hwy., across from Old Hwy.80 (North side of I-8).

The load vehicle had just completed a load up of suspected illegal Border Intruders, with one (Intruder), not able to load up in the vehicle, and, running (East), up the hillside, back into the bush. While the Border Watcher was making his report to the BP Dispatcher, a number of Border Patrol units arrived at the location. The Border Watcher believes some one reported the incident just prior to his call (due to the quick response of the BP units).

The suspected Border Intruder that ran back into the bush was dressed in shorts and wearing a red top with black lettering (or strips?). The BP Agents caught the load vehicle and occupants on Old Hwy. 80, near the Community of Pine Valley. The status of the lone Intruder that ran back into the bush was unknown at the end of our Watch operation (nightfall). All is well that ends well. "We love a rainy day". Gadget Dan.
