Reality check exploring the US Mexico Border Wall in my Jeep (pt 3)

Part 3 in the border wall series. Solo exploring in my Jeep Wrangler from the US/Mexico #border wall trail from Lukeville to the Quitobaquito oasis led me smack dab into politics. In this episode, I video a migrant surrender ritual, a rattlesnake, get pulled over by border patrol and more! #4wd #adventure #wrangler #rubicon #mexican

Nice vid!

[@RanchoTexano]

Thank you!

[@shiftintosunshine]

You're welcome! Stay awesome.

[@ironman1518.]

Thank you for your coolest of videos!! I plan to travel that area in a few weeks. I and three other friends went on a dirt motorcycle trip on the New Mexico side of the edge of the border 50 years ago. I plan to go back to Hatchita and Animas (which is paved now, dirt in 1974). And then go to the Geronimo trail you showed us to Douglas then north thru side/dirt roads to Window Rock AZ.

[@shiftintosunshine]

Geronimo trail was really fun. One of my favs! Hope you have a great time and stay in touch.

[@ironman1518.]

@@shiftintosunshine Thank you for the great review!! I shall.

[@SmittyAZ]

Are you going to cage it this time?

[@ironman1518.]

@@SmittyAZ what does 'cage it' means please?

[@SmittyAZ]

@@ironman1518. A cage is a car, truck, etc., and not a motorcycle.

So lucky to be born on the good side of the wall. Congrats on winning the nation lottery. Good luck to all those families hiking through the desert for better lives.

[@shiftintosunshine]

The whole situation is bananas.

Quitobaquito Springs is a treasure though with endangered pupfish in it and also a potentially endangered turtle... and a critical, rare watering hole for wildlife in the area that has been there for at least 16000 years. A very special fragile place was put at risk by the construction as they had to pump a lot of groundwater in the area for dust control and concrete production. All for a wall that won't stop the illegals and was just a political stunt... I am not for illegal immigration, but the wall just wastes funds that could have otherwise been used much more effectively to stop illegal immigration without causing the ecological and other negatives of the physical wall across one of our National Monuments.

[@shiftintosunshine]

Very valid points. From the video its obvious that "stopping illegal immigration" is not the objective.

33,000,000 criminals have invaded the USA.

@@shiftintosunshine Yeah. Definitely enjoyed the video - crazy times on the border these days.
