El Paso Border Wall Detour After White Sands 🚗💨

After exploring White Sands NP, we made a spontaneous drive to the US-Mexico border wall in El Paso for dinner with a side of ~adventure~. Border Wall Visit 📍 How to Find It: Navigate to Sunland Park, NM Take Anapra Rd to the end → voilà, Border Wall #357! ⚠️ Border Patrol was present—they’ll politely remind you not to get too close for photos. Dinner Drama at Andale Mexican Restaurant 🌮🚨 Food: Cheap, tasty, zero frills (get the carne asada tacos!) Plot Twist: 20+ cop cars zoomed past mid-meal—turns out there was a shooting at a nearby mall! 😱 (Welcome to America…) Border Patrol Encounters 🛂 On the drive back to New Mexico: First stop: "What’s your visa status?" Second stop: Same Q, same answer—no checks, just waved through. Lesson: Always carry ID, but don’t stress! #ElPaso #BorderWall #WhiteSandsToMexico #TravelUnscripted #TexMexEats #OnlyInAmerica #RoadTripStories
