SAN DIEGO — Mark Jorgensen scowled, squinting under the desert sun on a recent afternoon in the Vallecito Mountains south of Borrego Springs.
“That’s bush league,” said the former Superintendent of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park as he peered at a large gash in a 2,500-gallon plastic tank used to collect rainwater for bighorn sheep and other wildlife. Black tape patching the hole in the “guzzler” had come loose, and the top of the container was caving in.
“That needs to be fixed pronto,” said the 70-year-old, who during his tenure with the park zealously oversaw such wildlife feeding apparatus. “If a sheep fell in there, it would be a horrible death, but it would also poison the water. Other sheep could drink it and die.”
