From beer cans to medicine bottles, trash was scattered Saturday along a dirt road south of San Diego. They were the remnants of a so-called "rager" Friday night.
A South Bay father could be facing charges after a party that was planned to celebrate the end of the school year was broken up by San Diego Police.
“It was fun, it was really hyped up."
That's how one teenager described the party hosted by a high school student and his father at a ranch along Sunset Avenue and Saturn Boulevard, just a few miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border.
According to a few attendees, nearly 300 teens packed the property.
San Diego police estimated the guests at more than 100 high school students from several different schools. Officials said alcohol and ecstasy were being used.
Four minors who, police say, appeared to be inebriated were rushed to nearby hospitals.

So with flyers in hand and a heavy heart, Saturday morning Julie Alcala searched for her daughter Samantha.
"After the neighbor told me here that he saw four girls here laid out, passed out unconscious and they were around my daughter's age,” Alcala told NBC 7. “ I don't want to leave."
Alcala searched the area for the 14-year-old San Ysidro High School student after hearing about what happened at the party in a news article.
"I just want her home and if anybody can help putting flyers, making copies, I do need help making copies and just anywhere we can get her face out there."
Another parent spoke to NBC 7 and explained that he gave his son permission to go to the party.
He didn’t want to be identified but he did want to say it's hard to cast blame on the parent who told police he hosted the party.
"The drugs and the alcohol is everywhere. So it's one person's actions, you have to be responsible for yourself," the father said.
San Diego Police said there was an adult at the party who identified himself as the host and admitted he supplied his son with alcohol.
Under the city’s social liability host law, that could mean, he's legally responsible.
Ed. Note: The 14-year-old San Ysidro HS student was located Saturday in San Ysidro.
