I don't know if the process is still going on, but a couple of years ago I read about a small Mexican town, just south of the US/Mexico border, that was actually getting its mail through the US Postal Service, as well as all road access being via the USA. This was in a stretch where the border was along the Rio Grande River. The river shifted from the channel north of the town to another channel south of town, washing out the road that had led to the Mexican town. The national border still runs along the old river bed north of town.

These cross State boundaries if that is the way the mail is dispatched. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk -- John F.
