That was very good information concerning Newton-azark and what happen to them. I had never heard about Theodore L. Newton Jr. and George F. Azrak before. Two very deserving hero's that gave their life in the line of duty and the service of their Country.

Thanks, for reminding us. ...

Ted and George were taken to a cabin in the hills between Escondido and La Jolla. There, they were cuffed back-to-back surrounding a pot bellied stove. Their executions began slowly and systematically at their ankles and proceeded higher with each shot. The USBP's highest award for valor is the Newton and Azrak medal.

Until I moved to Texas 3 years ago, I used to attend a Memorial Day church campout every year near Hwy 78 in Vista, between Escondido and Oceanside. La Jolla is a little further down the coast from Oceanside. Hwy 79 intersects with 78 further inland from Escondido at Santa Ysabel, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't go into La Jolla, and I know 78 doesn't. I got the biggest speeding ticket I've ever received on 78, a few miles east of Ocotillo Wells out in the Anza-Borrego desert.

I do know that there is an INS checkpoint located on Interstate 15 in Temecula, and that Hwy 79 comes into Temecula from the northeast, even paralleling I-15 for a short distance, before it heads back out of Temecula in a southeasterly direction.

If you draw a diagonal map line between Escondido and La Jolla, the shack/cabin/jacalito to which they were taken was somewhere along that line.
