i have mountain bike trails  at  my  place.  you  can  actually see  them  on google maps, here. 
im  not  really  up  to  proving  anything..  i  just  happen  to  live  next  to  a  place  that  people  were  talking  about  and  just  wanted  to  say  i  thought  it  was  kind  of  silly.
that   nothing  was  really  happening like  they  were  saying. 
 
however if  you  ever  need  anything  with  regards  to  the  violence  down  here..  keep  my  mail  handy  and  i  will  be  glad  to  help  you..
 
take  care.
 

looks  like  mr  farias  has  also  said  something  regarding  the  matter ..  his  land  is  up  close  to  the  river.. he 
spoke  to  the  'texas gop blog'  about  it:
 
I just spoke with one of the ranchers who had been identified as being a victim in this story. Mr. Hector Farias of Laredo, spoke with me on the phone this morning about this matter. He told me the first he heard of this story was when he was contacted by the FBI. He has owned this ranch for over 30 years and has never had a problem on his ranch regarding illegal immigration or smuggling. He stated he was at his ranch over the weekend and everything was fine there and in the entire area. The story on the internet states that he was confronted by drug cartels. He said this is not true. There is no reason not to take him at his word.
 

i have been out here all this time. this whole thing is a hoax. im hearing here locally that it all started when a city councilman did an interview on thursday with a mexican blogger and he told him that two ranchers with land along the river had gotten into an argument, and also that the violence in nuevo laredo had become very very bad lately- this is true.. whatever you do do not cross the border thru laredo right now.

i would have heard gunshots-- especially big caliber guns. from here i can even here small caliber 22's out of that area but there was nothing at night. saturday night when i went out to get groceries a sherriff came up close behind me for about 3 minutes on the mines road-- there were about 3 or 4 sherriff vehicles out and about 8 or 9 border patrol vehicles. on saturday morning i took a drive out to los minerales and everything was normal.. i saw the border patrol helicopter along the river pass by like it does all the time and closer to my place just a couple of border patrol vehicles during the day driving by along the jeep trails by the house.

i live on 45 acres just down the mines rd from los minerales annex where all of this is said to have taken place. i was home friday night and all weekend. from here i can usually hear the 'cuerno de chivos' and the grenade explosions on the other side because the nuevo laredo airport is somewhat on the trajectory from my US vantage point. from my view the line of trees cover the river but from my hills i can can see all the ranches and houses
where this is said to have occured but i saw nothing at all.
