[Crave]

Wondering if anyone is heading to Algodones. I have arrived here at the casino and should have my camp pass tomorrow.

[Crave]

It is for the Indian land. It is packed at the casino parking lot also the bus fare to the boarder is two dollars.

Isn't it walkable? Why the bus

 

[jimindenver]

Not all can walk the distance or possibly at all.

 

[Crave]

It's about a mile and a half to two miles. Also note that the bus runs on mountain time and I didn't take it due to confusion about the time zones.

Isn't it walkable? Why the bus

If you were here, you would understand. 

I am paying for parking, for the simple reason that an armed federal employee is watching my things, and the walk is reasonable. 

Hundreds of dentist, and uncountable venders. I draw the line at buying food and fish from ice chests though. 

My favorite signs was hanging in a bar.  “We don’t give a shit how they make it in California “.

 

[Crave]

Actually the parking lot is tribal the boarder patrol are everywhere watching over everything in the area. At night the blast the area with big lights on the hill nearby.

Beware the Q (Quechan Casino is packed as the Paridice casino kicked everyone out due to an event they are having.

 

[Samanthajday]

Can you stay overnight at the casino?

 

[Crave]

Can you stay overnight at the casino?

The Paridice, I don't know. The Quechan, yes a bunch of RVs pulled out today before I left.

I draw the line at buying food and fish from ice chests though. 

One time when I was in Los Algodones, I bought two kilos of shrimp fresh from the Sea of Cortez from a guy with a couple of coolers and a scale. I was the best shrimp my friends and I ever had. And the place I get fish tacos there keeps their seafood in coolers. No problems ever.

Go to a seafood market in the States, or to a fancy seafood restaurant, and they'll have fish on ice.

Call it a “gut” reaction.  

It just takes one time to get the gut reacting. 

 

[Crave]

I think it's called, "buyer beware" or "buyer be hospitalized".
