I am working on a 48 States-3Countries (49+2?) route for next year. I stole (borrowed?) the basis for the route from http://www.mctourer.com/rides/2005_48Plus/Laughlin.html, and in general it looks really good.
The big question I have about it is their Mexico border crossing: they head south 36 miles from Deming, NM to Puerto Palomas, Mex, then head back to Deming again. I have no idea why they routed it this way. There are several border crossing between El Paso and Esparanza, TX that are much closer to the Interstate. It may have been because of the time of day they were in that area? Is there some reason to avoid the TX border crossings? I live in CA, so I don't exactly frequent that area.
