Ned Sutton: Grandpa. ‘The Man. The Myth. The Bad Influence.’ The three white ducks, Huey, Dewy and Louie, hang together in a corner like a band, waddle and flop in unison, squawking a specific waterfowl rhythm that soon becomes a kind of dusty, backyard aria, which includes two young clowning grandchildren, an overhead helicopter, a hammock creaking in the breeze, several baby chickens in a coop, and Ned Sutton bitching about the rises in the yard, the hard dirt humps he finds difficult to step on to arrive at his chair. When he plops down, on this cool, March afternoon, he ll be there awhile, his mere presence providing extraordinary information.

PINAL COUNTY, Ariz. If he wants to see fresh tracks and footprints, these are hours old, Lt. Chris Lapre told me and Pinal County Chief Deputy Sheriff Matthew Thomas through the thick brush right off of I-8. Thomas had just shown me the improvised waypoints smugglers from Mexico use on their trek north.
Full black water jugs were in the brush not too far from where the fresh footprints were. The resupply points are well-hidden to drivers who are zipping by on the road and were filled with trash that was discarded by the border crossers.
