[Az-Geocaching] Caution Tucson, border cachers

[Rand Hardin]

Brian-Team A.I.,

I just went back over my deleted emails and couldn't find your post (what was your Subject line?).  I guess it didn't make it to me yet.

Yes, I found that quote interesting too!  I have a strong feeling that things are going to get out-of-hand at times.

The whole Mexico/U.S. relations is bad.  I just read an article on the DRUDGE REPORT: It stated that at the beginning of the U.S./Mexico socceer match that was held in Mexico City yesterday, that Mexican fans were booing the U.S. national anthem; and some fans were chanting "Osama! Osama!".  Some fans tried burning the American flag after the game, but ended up stomping on it.

You're about an hour late, Rand.  :)  I just posted a link to an article
about this a little while ago.  I found one of the quotes pretty funny
though.  The guy organizing all of this is ex-military, and states that the threat isn't being taken very seriously because due to the fact that over half of the volunteers are combat veterans.  This should be interesting.

I don't know if there are any caches along the Arizona/Mexico border, but if so, geocachers need to be aware of possible problems.  The 1000+ volunteers of the MINUTEMAN PROJECT will be conducting patrols along part of the border for the month of April.  A violent Central America-based gang (Mara Salvatrucha, or MS-13) has issued orders to teach "a lesson" to the Minuteman volunteers.  There could be some problems for anyone in the area, and should be aware.
