Three years ago I was in Arizona. I wanted to visit the last Cavalry Fort in the USA but I was on a tight schedule and at the time offroading in a National Park. I asked the PARK RANGERS if there were anyway I could get to this Fort without having to backtrack my trail to the highway. They said, YES, there was a back entrance thru the woods and they drew the map for me on scratch paper. So, I set out along what turned out to be a trail RIGHT ALONG THE MEXICAN border. My wife is a Filipina and was nervous as she didnt have her citizenship papers with her. Anyhow, eventually we entered the Forts grounds and almost INSTANTLY were surrounded by a bunch of Humvees with these guys pointing their rifles at us. In an indignant tone I hollered WHAT THE F#%K DO YOU GUYS THINK YOU ARE DOING? An officer came up and asked my business. Told him I was on the way to the Museum at the Fort. They asked for ALL KINDS of identification including insurance papers, credit cards, drivers license etc etc. Each time this officer radioed his higher up. Eventually it was getting late and I said look, I am on Vacation, I was given this route by the National Park Service, I got a jeep PLASTERED with UNIV. OF FLA stickers, its obvious I am not some damn wetback and if I dont see this museum before it closes there will be hell to pay. So, they gave me a MILITARY ESCORT right to the door of the museum. Later I found out that this fort was used for testing secret weapons and we had gone right into the test site knocking off their sensors. JDN
