I've been through that Fal checkpoint a hundred times.
I really didn't know there was any backroads around it, and I've traveled a bunch of backroads around there.
I know they've tightened down a bunch at Falfurrias. Where it used to take me five minutes max to get through, the last time I went through took twenty minutes. I like that.
I'm glad they caught that POS. I've been hearing rumors for months that the gangs and the terrorists have joined forces.
The gangs supply the terrorists with drug money, and the terrorists supply the gangs with arms.
