Crazy day there. We hit the border a ways past Wendys at 2:00 or so, took a hour and 15 minutes. Three agents per car, 3 lanes open. Two drug dogs, two other agents checking cars and a police officer in a bullet proof vest walking around the cars.

Ouch, I hit the border at 11am, no line... 2 cars in front of me... 3 lanes open.

However, that police officer with like an AK-47 scared me ;-)

We hit the border at 6:00 on Sunday October 4th- 1.5 hour wait! 5 lanes open. I was glad to see more people in Penasco than we've seen for several months, but I wasn't happy about the wait. One of the lanes (over to the east side of the regular lanes) had a van COMPLETELY ripped apart- seats, dashboards, etc., all put out on the pavement. I hope they found what they were looking for.

Arrived at 5:00 almost at the Buen Viaje sign...crossed the border at 7:00. Small price for a great weekend, I suppose.

We went down thursday afternoon - the guy asked if we left our weapons at home? we were the only car crossing at the time - it also looked like no inspections were going on on the Mexican side of the border.

<sigh> As said in my previous thread, it's a ridiculous waste of taxpayer money that we do any type of checks going INTO Mexico!

I am reminded of seeing a man beating his head against a brick wall. So, I ask him "Why are you beating your head against the wall?" He looks at me and says "Because it feels so good when I stop!"

Woman is accused of smuggling money
A 32-year-old Mexican woman was indicted last week, accused of trying to smuggle almost $107,000 out of the United States.
Gabina Gabriela Rios-Alvarez was arrested Sept. 5 as she and two others tried to drive into Mexico at the Lukeville Port of Entry, according to documents filed in U.S. District Court in Tucson.
