The crossing at Boquillas had been unstaffed on either side at least since the 
early 1970's.

     The same was true at Lajitas, where one could drive across the Río Grande 
at low water.  Nancy Weaver and I did that one time in the midst of a group of 
kayakers coming down the river.  A similar situation was true for the La Linda 
bridge, which surprisingly had a Mexican customs station but not one on the U. 
S. side.  None of these great crossings are open anymore.  See my Carbide 
Corner piece in Texas Caver Vol. 53, no. 3 (2007) for an exciting crossing 
after La Linda had closed.
