Joe, I agree with you about law enforcement people. I just spent 3 days in 
Cabeza Preita W.R. along the Camino del Diablo about 2-3 miles north of the 
border. The scariest thing we saw was a very young Border Patrol officer 
with a machine gun over his shoulder who seems ticked off that we were 
camping in his zone. Lynn
