    I was driving Westbound on I10 between Quartzsite and Blythe and there was a random border patrol check point with heavy traffic. Does anyone know if they have the same check points going Westbound on I10 between Blythe and Phoenix?

    No, not normally! But they are very portable. They only set up where they think trafficking is going to take place, They suspect that folks going from Mexico will go east bound on I-10 and so they set it up. I hope this helps. See my signature. Thanks.

    they usually one check one direction. and that's inbound. and you'll find a few of them. cose to the border.

    i pickied up onions from a town in new mexico. you could see the helicopters flying around. and the wall the govt built.
    oi asked the shipper how close to mexico they were. he said 500 feet. that'll probably be the only chance i get to visiting mexico.
