Photo Diary: National Border Patrol Museum, El Paso TX [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2023-06-03

A small museum that focuses on the history of the US Border Patrol. El Paso is one of the busiest transit points between Mexico and the US (both legal and illegal), so I’ve been seeing Border Patrol vehicles all over the damn place.

Some photos from a visit.

For those who don't know, I live in a converted campervan and travel around the country, posting photo diaries of places that I visit.
