The borders may be closed but free enterprise still lives on. We hiked a ways into Boquillas Canyon to see up close more fine examples of the work that the river does. It is a narrow cut that is more than 1500 ft high and is pretty amazing. We encountered some Mexican locals who still feel that the border is a little more porous than the official folks seem to indicate. They were hawking their wears to all who would listen. One fellow, Victor, was singing for donations. We didn’t contribute nor buy but it did add another facet to the experience. They were really not too pushy. Illegal yes, but not pushy.
