Greetings from my undisclosed location not far from the border - between the two Carolinas. I'm currently on the North Carolina side, and will attempt to cross into the South tomorrow. Since this is a border between two U.S. states, I don't think I'll find any wall, except between the highway and adjacent land. Any coyotes trying to smuggle their human cargo northward will simply be able to drive their vehicles on I-95 or other commonly traveled roads. They will not be harassed by police or other authorities, unless they commit an obvious traffic violation. After a long day of driving, I find myself wondering if I've missed anything interesting, so I naturally had to look up and present some things going on:
