I have property just east of Niland. The area is sometimes a heavily used route for illegals. I had to show a 45 one time to prevent 15 illeglas from taking all my food and water while in the desert a few miles east of the canal.
The coyotes drive up hwy 111 and drop the illegals off just south of Niland and tell them to walk north to the 10 frwy then turn left to L.A. It’s about 30 miles of harsh desert through a bombing range.
When the BP tightens up in Arizona they come through the Niland area desert by the thousands stealing everything they can and leaving trash and vehicles everywhere.
The BP are really nice people.
I doubt if this one drowned. They’re not dumb people.
I’ve been through that area... the ordinance testing range is not a place I would want to trek through.
Slab City?
