The Mexican citizens living in the small villages across the river should be allowed to cross from Candelaria and downstream to buy the necessities that are more plentiful and convenient rather than making much longer trips on questionable roads.

They wanted to tear it down. Fortunately better judgement and common sense prevailed. I've entered Texas from Chihuahua by fording the Rio Grande at Lajitas at least 2wice returning from caving in Mexico. There was nobody there to check us in. We tried to report our entry at the BP checkpoint near Marathon but nobody was home there either. The word is that the Boquillas Crossing would be for use by Park people and other officials only, not us common citizens on tourist trips. The words "building a crossing" were used. That makes it sound like they'd be putting in a bridge. It would be a long one. Right now there's only a gravel bottomed ford--or, at least, was the last time I was there. www.hispanicallyspeakingnews.com --Ediger --------------------------------------------------------------------- Give this to a friend: [email protected] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
