    This is sad. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. This kind of thing makes me think I should invest in one of those tracker devices that allow two way communication and that tracks you while you ride so someone knows where you're at. Jimmy Lewis talked about this in one of his podcasts. Apparently he goes out a lot on his own. He says if he stops anywhere for more then an hour he will shoot a text to his wife. If she doesn't get that text, then she knows to send help. 

    In the worst case at least your family would know fairly quickly, and in any other case, help might get to you in time.

    Yes. I do all that stuff. But I can see the temptation to just take off for a spin if you live that close to a riding area. It’s like riding in your backyard.

    I'm available and know the areas between Otay and Tecate well.   Who is coordinating efforts?  I'm ready to search. 

    Guess I'll DM OP on facebook but if anyone here has the info, pls share.

    His family asked volunteers to stage at Pio Pico Campground.

    Thinking more about this. That bit about the difference speed makes in negotiating sand - my son is always telling me it will be easier if I stop holding back. But I am always thinking, "How fast do I want to be going when I finally go down."

    Also, would a SPOT device have worked better/faster than a cellphone in summoning help? And would you be charged for the evac/rescue if you used your own SPOT to rescue a stranger?

    I see the usefulness of this video, but grrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

    So many safeguards put in place by anti-2nd Amendment folks that basically render a firearm useless while on the road.

    And, regarding thugs, the weapons charge is the first thing that defense attorneys attempt to drop as the enhancement is a doosie; and they're successful most of the time, in my experience.  Whereas the Regular Joe charged with improper carry is hammered. 

    Sigh...

    Keep and bear arms:

    1. Keep it locked away, unloaded, inoperable, inaccessible. 

    2. Bear. Unlock it in order to lawfully punch holes in paper at an indoor range for $30 per hour.

    'Merica.

    H-90 "The upshot: They never even asked for his ID. What? "Yeah, we don't have a right to ask for his ID; and he knows that. If he shows up again, call us, and we'll arrest him for trespassing because now he's been warned." Really? And how will you know it's the same guy. You don't even know who he is because you never asked for his ID. (I generally support LE. Just a bit frustrated with these particular deputies. I think he intimidated them out of doing their job.)"

    Or they just knew the law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolender_v._Lawson

    And I'm sure they knew just how much support they'd get from the public if they stepped just a teensy bit over the line to "help".....

    Hard to believe something more wasn't done with the Jeep - THAT is frustrating.

    Point taken. I apologize for my ignorance. I guess my point is that this guy was not merely a loiterer or a wanderer. He was menacing. They decided to not check for ID before they even interviewed the one who was making a complaint (me). Totally agree about the community support. This protest-the-police culture will be the death of us. When people lose respect for authority and fear of punishment, we are done.
