Somewhere about 40 - 50 miles east out of El Paso on I-10, they close the interstate after dark and all traffic is routed through a Border Patrol checkpoint. I-10 parallels the border through there, and you can see Mexico from the highway. At night there's a dark space that seems to stretch out a couple miles to the south of the interstate, and beyond that the Mexican side's all lit up. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
