These furriners are often accurately identified as Bulgarians, and how exciting for our tiny, outback population to be so globally villaged! Bulgarians! There was a nest of Bulgos in Covelo that was busted up by Mendo’s famous lawman, Peter Hoyle, a few years ago, around the same time a multi-national trimmer crew — Italians, Swedes, Spaniards, Japanese, and Chinese — was discovered near Laytonville. They were all young and seemingly recruited out of a Bay Area youth hostel. The Italian consul even dispatched a couple of lawyers to defend the Italians against the rubes in the County Courthouse. And just the other day a couple of girls, one a Brit, the other an Argentinean, both of them looking awfully upscale by outback dope standards, were arrested on dope-related charges in Willits.
