Another Successful Highway Clean up Day
Led by Gadget Dan, Campo Minutemen collected a record 14 orange bags of trash, much of it dropped by illegal border crossers.
Common trash items include lighters, "border booties" shirts, condom wrappers, and trail markers - usually plastic bags tied in bushes or trees. Food and water packages with Spanish writing are common. Spanish language soda bottles are often refilled with water.
The Campo Minutemen returned to the 7 3/4 mile marker on Buckman Springs where evidence of well used trails was recently discovered by GSB America. There appeared to have been a group which crossed very recently, as papers and food from a fresh picnic were found along with fresh foot prints.
Two pairs of ripped jeans were also fond. Jeans are frequently torn and refashioned to carry personal items or drugs.
