an abandoned spur.
Past the canal, the verdant, lush zone... is the Colorado River. Beyond that, is the Southern part of Algondonas, MX.
No bullet holes!
A few miles down the road, I saw this...
the "Fence," with a gate...
I wonder where that electricity goes?
North:
South:
Obviously, I am West of the canal, still East of the Colorado River.
My wanderings passed through Somerton, and eventually to San Luis. I parked my bike and freely walked across the border into Mexico. Walked around, even shopped. Tried to buy a pair of boots, the store owner even left and went up the street, was actually gone for 5 minutes, going store to store, trying to find my size! No luck. Guess WalMart once again will make a sale.
Looked for a place to stop...
It was closed.
So I ventured back to the US.
There was a line. Three people in front of me, was a man who was arrested! Handcuffed and escorted away...
Almost an hour later, I presented my US Passport, and was grilled! Why did I go to Mexico, how many times have I been to Mexico, when was the last time I have been to Mexico, what was the purpose of my trip, do I have any firearms, illegal drugs, where is your car... Was asked for 'secondary ID!' Really! That was a US Passport, with my picture on it, issued by the US Government!
I smiled, was friendly, actually it turned into a conversation about bikes! Seems the CBP Officer also was a rider. Held up the line a bit!
And no, I did not drink the water... Boobies was closed after all.
