I personally have no knowledge of this type of illegal activity you understand, but I did
hear of some gents getting on the SP in the early 70's in a '56 Mercury after
a bachelor party and heading toward Niles. When one of the more sober contestants happened
to turn around and espy a mars light in the distance, the guys got really serious about
finding the next crossing to get off at.
