The cool thing about the state park and the Marine Corp station is that both are virtually undeveloped and together they make a truly vast ecological reserve stretching from the ocean/coastal plan through the foot hills and on the east side they abut the Cleveland National Forest which itself is connected to the Anza Berrigo Desert State Park. All together that's a huge swath of intact and contigious open space vital to local wild life.
There is still the problem that I5 and I15 cut through this land effectively cutting it into thirds but supposedly the state wants to make large under passes so large mammal populations (deer, mountain lions, etc) can easily pass into each of these sections. Ecologically this is one of the gems of this area. |

Lets see, a four lane highway is 30 yards wide? According to Oerdin this will take up 20% of the park area. So the park is a strip of land 150 yards wide?
Exaggeration ![]() ![]() That being said, camp Penedelton has rural undeveloped areas for a reason. 1.) They don't tend like shooting artillery shells over or into populated areas. 2.) It is extrememly important to have undeveloped areas so you can learn how to operate in underdeveloped areas. That being said, given the choices of the Marine base, the park, and the prospective development land the obvious choice is the devlopment land. And btw almost every national park adjacent to populated areas have major transport routes through them. If done right the impact is negligable. |

If you break up Arnold's last name, you get Schwarz and negger. Does his name literally mean "Black Nig*er" in German? Its is separated differently: Schwarzen and Egger, with the first part meaning black (as you mentioned) and the second part (Egger) being a surname that is very common in Austria and the southern parts of germany. (another Variation of the Egger-Name would be Niederegger (Lower Egger) who are famous for the production of chocolate) Maybe Arnolds branch of the Egger family lived somewhere in the deep forest (where it is black) and therefore were called the black eggers which finally evolved into Schwarzenegger |

I'm not sure "negger" is even a term of disparagement in German but it is in the Dutch language. |

Exaggeration ![]() ![]() The land to be developed is north of Camp Pendleton and south of the Ortega highway (a windy two lane road built in the 1920's which really isn't suitable as the only transit route for thousands of new homes (maybe tens of thousands). It's a sticky situation looking at the map. My personal opionion is **** the developers and leave the land rural. |

Nice map!
![]() Technically speaking San Juan Capastron doesn't have smog, that's north in LA. Oh, and there is no heavy metals in the water and the area to be developed is north of what you have creatively labeled "McMansionville". ![]() I'm sure developers want to turn that open space into McMansions too though. ![]() |

It's out there...
![]() http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?se...cal&id=4474687 Several thousand gallons of radioactive water have leaked out of a retired reactor at the San Onofre nuclear power plant over an unknown period of time. Officials say there is no threat to public safety. ... Lund said that there is little chance the tritium under the San Onofre plant could have contaminated the city's well. "It's two miles away and uphill from the plant. The plant is at sea level, and water doesn't run uphill," he said. |
