Ran VOTM this weekend and note that CBP is watching the first section a lot. A Boarder Agent gave us a hell of a hard time about driving near the fence. "I don't give a f*** about what it says on the internet about this trail, don't drive near the fence. I'm tired of all you dam off roaders thinking you can just go where you want." is the colorful feedback we received. He very firmly "suggested" we use the main trail head off the 8 / Old HW80 and then take the gravel road that leads slightly west and then directly south to get to the west trail entrance for VOTM. Just wanted to drop an update based on the recent experience. Thanks Brad and TR team, love the vids.

After seeing this and other videos I thought this would be a great place to explore. With a little more research, however, I discovered that the Valley of the Moons is actually in The Jacumba Wilderness, where motor vehicles are prohibited. Looks like driving to Elliot Mine is fine, but the Valley is not - the wilderness boundary is just east of the mine according to on-line BLM maps (and Gaia GPS). Can anyone confirm this?
