I have a feeling they won't have nice things to say about BIBE.

We detoured through El Paso, along the Rio Grande, thinking that it would be picturesque and we would easily find a taco for lunch. Nope, no such luck; this area is ugly.
In the last three days, we have seen Border Patrols everywhere, and have been through two checkpoints. The patrols, and where they are (40 to 50 miles from the border, along fairly desolate stretches of the interstate) were a big surprise to us. We don't remember them from previous journeys along the border (but those journeys were long, long ago, so times do change).
Today we are going down to Big Bend National Park for a few days. Tommy was there with Wilson so many years ago. Skip remembers this park as one of his favorites. We are off to the store to get provisions.
