Connie and I have been talking about traveling ever since we retired, but seems that something is always coming up. Then with the problems made known about the issue of illegal immigrants sneaking into our country via the southern border, and the concern that people who are breaking the law likely aren't going to be much concern with breaking more of them, sort of puts a big damper on those plans anyway.
And certainly, news worthy incidents such as this certainly don't get me to thinking that perhaps I am just being a shade too paranoid for my own good.

Interestingly enough, I very recently traded in one of the cars and purchased a Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk specifically with travel in mind. This Jeep has a 7200 lb towing capacity and would be perfect for pulling a smallish travel trailer. I like the Wrangler, but the 2 door version that we have has a limit of only 2,000 pounds for towing. And I had been pushing this thought of travel closer to the front burner as a result of obtaining the Grand Cherokee.
But really not sure how good of an idea that is with obviously predatory illegal aliens pouring through our porous southern border into our southwestern most states. In my opinion, knowingly going into an area that is ground zero for a bunch of desperate criminals illegally coming into this country just is not a very smart idea.
