Today was a long day.  I am writing from the Christina Ana Hotel in Nacozari de Garcia.  My initial plan was to cross the border at Agua Prieta.  Someone had told me that I should cross at Naco instead is it is a quaint border.  I rolled up along with a Border Services van returning […]

So here I sit in a KOA near Benson, AZ.  I am about half an hour away from the border.  I was going to cross at Douglas/Agua Prieta, but spoke with someone today who suggested that Naco will be a better crossing as I would be avoiding a bordertown crossing. The KOA I am sitting […]

So…patient readers…I haven’t written in a while.  The start date of my trip was delayed by various tasks that needed to be performed.  But…alas…I am well on the road.  More on this in a bit. I won’t go into details but I wouldn’t be surprised if I didn’t put 24-36 hours of work into the […]
