As an aside, there are airports right at the border. Del Bonita / Whetstone in particular would be perfect for clearing Customs on wave flights, but unfortunately it has been designed to kill glider pilots. Check out this picture -

You need a smaller glider! Or, maybe a Stemme, with gear that's better suited to
