Thanks Don for the comment on the bullet holes. We were in Bustamante a few years ago during one of the Labor Day work trips. Seems there were some issues in town with a shooting occurring the day before. The Federales had road blocks up on the road in and out of town. As we were leaving on Monday, we drove through one of the road blocks where one of the Federales noted that I had two bullet holes in the tail gate of the Tahoe (before Jim K. owned it). Seems that some of my Boy Scout Venture Crew guys thought it was funny to place a couple of those bullet hole stickers on the car. Anyway, the Federales gave it a close look with the 17 year old with the M16 pointed at the car. I got out and removed the stickers.
I think Don A. (hole) was in the car right behind me laughing his a$$ off watching me sweat and shake. I thought for sure that I was going to spend some time trying to explain things with my very limited Spanish.

If so, what did Geary do to have cops shoot at him/his vehicle? they dont just practice their marksmanship shooting live targets. Stay out and away from Juarez, even us Mexicans avoid that place. again, common sense, and be safe y'all Nico On Tue, Feb 23, 2010 at 10:16 PM, Geary Schindel <gschin...@edwardsaquifer.org<mailto:gschin...@edwardsaquifer.org>> wrote: I love traveling in Mexico, I just stay out of Juarez.
