It has to do with my Bass fishing, but maybe not yours or those that have already made the decision to never cross the border to begin with. As I have already said, I felt like things was beginning to calm down over there and was making plans to go across.
It was just two years ago that one of the highlights of a guided trip was to go to Mexico for the night life. As we all know that is another sad story.

Not mad, just can't pull my head back into my shell.
That is all.

This thread has run its course.
