Public Lands South of I-8 now a no-go area

UPDATE: From the border north 100 miles AZ is lawless and given over to illegals.




The Bureau of Land Management apparently believes that public land south of Interstate 8 should be avoided.  If you can't read it, the sign says

DANGER - PUBLIC WARNING
TRAVEL NOT RECOMMENDED

  • Active Drug and Human Smuggling Area
  • Visitors May Encounter Armed Criminals and Smuggling Vehicles Traveling at High Rates of Speed
  • Stay Away From Trash, Clothing, Backpacks, and Abandoned Vehicles
  • If You See Suspicious Activity, Do Not Confront!
  • Move Away and Call 911
  • BLM Encourages Visitors To Use Public Lands North of Interstate 8.
For more information
call (623) 580-5500


Here's the actual photograph.  Click on it for a larger version.

I verified that the phone number is the BLM Phoenix District but it's mostly concerned with fires.

I just have one question.  If the public lands south of Interstate 8 are too dangerous, what about the private lands?  Hundreds of thousands of people live in Tucson, Bisbee, Tombstone, Benson.  Some of the mot beautiful rugged areas of the state.  I will not give them up.

BUILD THE DAMNED FENCE!
