And they are just now deciding to state the obvious???

My Dad used to take us camping out in the Big Bend area between Ruidosa/Presidio and BB every year between Christmas and New Years...It was chilly, but it was fun...

Never was a time that we didn't have a "group" trapes around our camp...

We used to camp right off the border highway, sometimes on private property (always with permission and knowledge of the owner) and could see from the higher ground from those campsites all the activity going on right across the border...

Thats when it was not "really" a problem back in the late 70's and early 80's...

Now, I would have a hard time camping in that area...Neve know what will "trapes" through your camp...

But hey...The government doesn't seem to be bothered by the intrusions on our border...So why should we???

(disclaimer: I might say that my post is sarcasm...But I'm afraid it is more of a reality check...Its a jaded position that may, or may not, change in the future...I apologise if my post has offended anyone... )

I went skinny dipping in the hot springs, but that's for another thread.
