Episode notes
The Smuggler's Cave is an eroded rock feature in San Diego County at an area known as the Valley of the Moon. A few years prior I asked a Border Patrol agent if there were issues in the area. He said there were none in the 10 years he had been in the area. So, naturally, I decided to sleep there.
