<div id="ygrps-yiv-1279315706">nogales az<br/>
& this place was named for wall nuts<br/>
<br/>
we got here by a very circuitous back country route including<br/>
why az<br/>
lukeville<br/>
quitobaquito<br/>
sasabe<br/>
arivaca<br/>
pena blanca<br/>
& saw the wall & monuments in many different formats including none at all <br/>
but a broken cattle fence wide open in many places<br/>
<br/>
but the best stretch of mxus for its oddity & counterexemplariness was in <br/>
organ pipe cactus national monument where the 4th class hardscrabble <br/>
washboard american road runs practically side by side with a state of the <br/>
art blacktop transmexican highway for about 10 miles<br/>
& i got to feeling so underprivileged as a yanko that i found ways to break <br/>
thru into the third world & rode the comfy mexican way for about 10km before <br/>
realizing i would have to pass a mexican army checkpoint as an illegal alien <br/>
gringo without papers or insurance but plenty of drugs<br/>
so of course i turned around & was fortunately able to thread my way back <br/>
illegally into the usa by the same route i had just used to leave for a <br/>
totally wild 20km at large in mexico tho i got nowhere in the end<br/>
<br/>
well i guess you had to be there<br/>
but dont miss quitobaquito or sasabe if you get the chance<br/>
for rich examples of border crossings back of beyond<br/>
& i assure you the wall is not everywhere & is only a false front at best<br/>
<br/>
& bill i believe you are putting your finger here on another very close <br/>
stretch of roadway<br/>
for tho the limited part of interstate 8 that i know is at least 3 miles <br/>
from the border right there by the andrade cable car crossings<br/>
there are nevertheless probably much closer stretches of this freeway within <br/>
california<br/>
<br/>
of course i can barely skim the shell of all the nuttiness ahere so i wont <br/>
try much harder<br/>
out of ime<br/>

&gt;I&#39;ll look forward to it Michael.  I passed through the Yuma area a couple <br/>
&gt;of years ago, but regret that I didn&#39;t catch The Wall...<br/>
