A Week in the Life - Camping Near the Mexican Border - Truck Camper Living

This week, Teddy and I extend our stay at Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge. But in this video, we also feature some of the things that happen behind the scenes but are very much part of a normal week for us in addition the activities, scenery, hiking, and other things that are part of our travels. We hope you get value out of the behind-the-scenes content. We wrap up the video with a quick trip south to the Mexican border to get some info on what’s needed to cross back and forth into Mexico and get a glimpse of the border wall in person.
