Favorite Trails: I'll know it when I find it.
I often see articles on online publications that appear to feature San Diego / SoCal trails (on sites ike Pinkbike, Singletracks, VitalMTB, etc.). It's fun to try and identify the specific trails. Sometimes it's easy, sometimes it's not.

Post up links and or pics from aforementioned articles and let the guessing begin (use discretion for OoB trails and maybe just reference a general area rather than the name of the trail. Specifics apply where appropriate though).

I'll kick it off. I feel like I know this area, but can't pin it down.

I know the spot and all the trails being ridden. The zone is under heavy scrutiny, so all I'm going to say is "I ain't no snitch".

After a little further thought, I can see where this is headed. Nowhere. I reckon that most spots are likely to be fight club spots, so this 'game' was an ill-conceived concept from the get-go. Oh well. Game cancelled.

As a parting post to this thread, and speaking of "Mexico", I will leave you with this (somewhere not in Mexico). This vid is about a year old, and I still think about this trail. It's probably beyond my pay-grade, but it's nice to know it's there, should I ever want to tempt fate and give it a go.

Amazing trail, I kept thinking while watching about how many times I would have taken a fatal crash.

It was fun while it lasted. But you are very right, it would take very long till someone gets upset.
