I went to Mexico back in the 1960s. I don't remember if we walked or drove across. I remember they were selling silver at cheap prices but I was a little kid and had no money.
My mom's aunt and uncle lived in Seattle and he was a crane operator at Boeing. He retired at age 55 and they bough a motor home. The bough one little piece of property on Oregon and stayed in their for 3 months a year to be called residents.
They were on the road the rest of the time. They drove all the way up to Barrow, Alaska and all the way south the Panama canal. They hit every national park, and would bump into another couple they knew at virtually every trailer park they stopped at. They did that for over 20 years.
For the trip to Panama they found a local Mexican to hire as a "security" guard and he rode with them to the southern border, and he knew the next guy to be the security guard. Mostly it was a way for the local um gang leaders to get a tax from the travelers.
