    With the unsecured AR and loose mags scattered on the floor that didn't seem to phase the DPS either

    Drove through NY, NJ, PA, MD, WV, and into VA today. Went into two scale houses, and green light on both.

    As long as I've been in Texas, it's crazy thinking about crossing all those state lines in less time than it takes to get across Texas. God that state is huge.

    On the other hand, there is something mildly disappointing about driving in the same direction all day long and still being in the same state. :oops:

    I've been in Texas all week and the only thing I've seen interesting going on is the border patrol with several cars and about 6-7 addition cop cars were on the side of the interstate about 10 miles north of Laredo yesterday and had this fence set up with a whole platoon of apparent illegal aliens sitting on the ground inside with the cops all standing around in a circle as if they were setting up a ####fight!

    I kept driving but I was interested in finding out more.

    Or the ones who can't find their way off the toll roads!
