A man recounts a border crossing attempt with a partner from Fort Stockton Pioneer. They bet on sneaking through sensors and Montana-like terrain, using night hiking and daytime hiding to reach the mountains, planning arrest or hitchhiking if needed.
Photos by Glen Larum and Gene Douglas recount a night trek ten miles west of Presidio toward Shafter. The travelers describe harsh terrain, rising fatigue, and a late highway crossing aided by a Mexican driver who shares a rumpled tale of his own crossing and work. The piece ends with a reflective note on the phrase wetback trail as a provocative, cautionary symbol.
