so... last night i did some research on Arivaca, the tiny little Arizona border town where i'm headed...

i found this photographer - www.livingontheborder.com - his photographs kinda slammed me a bit so i emailed him to let him know he'd done his job photographically. I didn't mention No More Deaths, just that his photographs of Black Hawks and Border Control did something to me I hadn't felt in a while. He wrote back something like this:

"here's our phone number, call us when you get here. we let the No More Deaths folks camp on our land as well as other travelers."

so, i guess i'm definitely supposed to go there. in just a few hours i will finally roll out of california and be on my way. To Quartzite tonight, to the flea market tomorrow, and then on to Tucson and Arivaca, where hopefully I'll finally be able to do something of use for the world.
