<div id="ygrps-yiv-663999970">seeing the rio bone dry at mesilla yesterday<br/>
where people were driving across without using the bridge<br/>
i couldnt help looking over my shoulder toward chnmtx again<br/>
<br/>
for there <br/>
the hugeness of the possible improvement from class c & class c again<br/>
to this so near but yet so far class b <br/>
only grows in my imagination<br/>
even if the likelihood of a perfectly dry visit werent also growing <br/>
with it<br/>
<br/>
& even if there werent also some difference of opinion about what the <br/>
1970 mxus treaty actually means <br/>
by <br/>
the middle of the channel <br/>
or <br/>
the middle of the broadest channel<br/>
etc<br/>
<br/>
for thats no problem if you can just walk across & pause to salute <br/>
each of the probabilities<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
& since i cant seem to keep away from mxus anyway<br/>
a bold new plan of escape across the rear guard dog line has occurred <br/>
to me also<br/>
namely by slipping away westward along the front line itself <br/>
from chnmtx<br/>
making tries at the virgins chnmso & aznmso too<br/>
if i am lucky enough to get so far without encountering another dog <br/>
post<br/>
& lucky enough also to talk my way out of all the routine front line <br/>
patrol encounters<br/>
due to tripping motion sensors or whatever<br/>
as i believe i may also be<br/>
<br/>

shows both these virgin tristate points<br/>
about equally spaced btw & suitable for zooming as usual<br/>
& also indicates both might be far easier to make from the <br/>
transmexican highway<br/>
tho doing them this way is probably not an option for me now<br/>
<br/>
of course any & all such brazen maneuvers should only be attempted <br/>
when the good smoke is all gone & the remnant stash almost empty <br/>
anyway <br/>
& the risk & jeopardy therefore minimal<br/>
<br/>
so there will need to be some additional delay for that in any case<br/>
hahaha<br/>
but it gives me time to complete the necessary research <br/>
& the preparations for venturing into such remote country<br/>
& indeed to make up my mind about incurring all these risks<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
& tho we still dont have a clue about how mexican state lines are <br/>
marked or even kept track of<br/>
& several complete misses at chcotx conutx & nutatx to prove it<br/>
i have already noticed that the usgs at least doesnt seem to have <br/>
much doubt about the position of chnmso<br/>
on 2 of its 3 scales of topos anyway<br/>
<br/>
so i can at the very least simply test that position for a marker<br/>
as i have done without success for the 3 others<br/>
tho that is probably also the very most as well<br/>
<br/>
but hope springs eternal<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
& aznmso <br/>
tho still more remote <br/>
is at least known to be marked <br/>
& is preceded by its reputation<br/>
as in message 11999<br/>
& thus could be even testier &or richer<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
& then<br/>
if i time everything just right<br/>
& if i have figured the positions of the rear guard dog posts <br/>
correctly too<br/>
i should meet my first dog <br/>
if at all<br/>
just when i have achieved a perfectly clean but still aromatic truck<br/>
hahaha <br/>
<br/>
which should be quite an adventure in itself<br/>
<br/>
i am looking forward to that in any case<br/>
<br/>
somewhere this side of tucson i would guess<br/>
<br/>
where i would also guess i will eventually be able to replenish my <br/>
stash at the first street corner market i find<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
so anyway thats an idea & maybe even a plan already<br/>
tho it will take at least a few weeks to happen</div>
