The permits took about five minutes. The lady just checked our applications and gave us the map and permits. The application is a hold harmless document. It basically says; If you die it is your fault not ours. We only got asked for the permits once. The BP officer that took down the numbers...

After we finished the Camino Del Diablo we continued following the border along Duquense Road east of Nogales. We camped at a dispersed site with a view of the San Rafael Valley. We were able to get right next to the border fence is a couple of areas. Just remember that someone is always...

Looks like it was a fun trip for all involved. Will watch for future adventures.
