So... I was talking with a band last night who were on tour from Washington, and they were all like, "Dude, we crossed the Mexican Border for a minute out by the dunes on I-8, heading east from San Diego to Phoenix."<br> <br> Are they right? Did they really cross into Mexico?<br> <br> What I'm asking is this: is that truck fence that you see off I-8 really the Border? If a person jumps from one side to another, are they truly leaving the United States, or does the real border lie some distance from the highway?<br> <br> <a href="http://www.haydeneast.com/blog/mexican-border-5000kms-on-the-clock/">This is what I'm talking about</a>... (Although that's a different band / guy, for whatever it's worth.) tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.85266 Tue, 04 Mar 2008 06:24:37 -0800 mexico unitedstates border california i-8 ph00dz
