Border Area Speed Traps, Los Algodones B.C.

Interstate Interstate 8 near Interstate Interstate 8 at Arizona Border Winterhaven, California

California Highway Patrol revenue center. Go for miles in AZ without seeing a patrol car and Bam !- "Welcome to California, here's your ticket sir "

Interstate 8 near Sidewinder Road Winterhaven, California

CHP officers patrol this area at a saturated rate. They will pass you at a high rate of speed and another officer going the other direction will get you on radar.


I-8E just before Arizona border. Winterhaven, California

0825 - Thursday morning, there was not very much trafic. I was on my way to Arizona going on I-8E just before Yuma. I was driving along and notice a CHP in front of me. I stayed behind him, there was not much trafic and my speed was safe, though the limit was 70mph. Kind of hard driving 70mph on an empty freeway. The officer then speeded up beyong me, and he was no longer in view. I continued my drive, and I had noticed that the CHP had pulled over on the side of the highway, and I slowed down to 75, and continued to slow down. As I passed him I could not have been doing no more than 70-72 mph, and he then pulled out behind me with his red light already on.

He said that I was keeping pace with him at about 82mph. I didn't think anything was wrong with keeping my pace behind him even though I did slow down a bit. I never passed him, and I felt that I would driving safe regardless of the 70mph speed limit considering that the hwy was not busy at all.

He also said that he clocked me on radar while he was pulled over on the side at 82, and I thought that he was wrong because I had already slowed down and I passed him doing around 70-72mph.

I don't feel that I was driving unsafe; even though I may have been driving over the said limit, but Winterhaven is about 3hours away from my home, so I just paid it.

I'm sure they get a lot of out of town people driving through Winterhaven on I-8 East becasue on my way back, I had noticed that a CHP was giving someone else a ticket, and he was probably the same CHP. SO, I consider the Town of Winterhaven a Speed Trap area. I'm sure they are racking in the bucks.

STATE ROUTE 186 (aka: Algodones Road) At Quechan Casino to Mexican Border

At times it is difficult to drive the road without seeing a number of enforcement vehicles!



Clothing Fabric entering from China, Indonesia, etc

A bit of information that you might like to know about. We have friends here in our community and one of their sons is an entomologist (insect expert), and has been telling them that there is an epidemic of bed bugs now occurring in America. Recently I have heard on the news that several stores in NYC have had to close due to bed bug problems, as well as a complete mall in New Jersey.
He says that since much of our clothing, sheets, towels, etc. now comes from companies outside of Mexico and America, (sad but true), even the most expensive stores sell foreign clothing from China, Indonesia, etc. The bed bugs are coming in on the clothing and bedding as these countries do not consider them a problem. He recommends that if you buy any new clothing, bedding, fabric, even underwear and socks, sheets, towels, etc. that you bring them into the house and put them in your clothes dryer for at least 20 minutes. The heat will kill them and their eggs. DO NOT PURCHASE FABRICS and Place them in your home or hang them in the closet first. It does not matter what the price range is of the clothing, or if the outfit comes from the most expensive store known in the U.S. They still get shipments from these countries and the bugs can come in a box of scarves or anything else for that matter. That is the reason why so many stores, many of them clothing stores have had to shut it down in NYC and other places. All you need is to bring one item into the house that has bugs or eggs and you will go to hell and back trying to get rid of them. He travels all over the country as an advisor to many of these stores, as prevention and after they have the problem.
Reccomend that this be Send this information on to those on your e-mail list so that this good prevention information gets around quickly.
