ahh yes i would
but between monterrey & laredo rather than saltillo
which i gather must be what you meant
& it jogs deja vus of others i may have seen elsewhere long ago
without realizing their significance at the time
but even so
& even if its no nonsense simplicity wasnt already convincing
i think the apparent absence of a road stone or any other obvious
marker there in such a critical location probably means this sign
itself is the interstate boundary demarcation
& possibly the closest thing there is to a real state line marker
anywhere in mexico
since its placement & style do make it seem federal or mutual
particularly in relation to the partisan nuevo leon welcome sign
so this does indeed appear to be the first sighting of its kind ever
reported here
which alone is a most exciting event
even without the promised pic

misremembering.
or it could just be typically fuzzy mexican mapping
pending any harder evidence tho
i am still inclined to trust arifs call
that this hoped for conusaza quadripoint is very probably all there
but the question is
will it be marked

the ones I took on the International Bridge Walkway in Laredo. I
was told I could not take pictures in the US direction, but I had
taken a few three days earlier from the CIETV where you get
permits in Mexico.
aha interesting
clearly you could take them
& all the green across the middle of the pic must be the rio valley

great
thanx
