<div id="ygrps-yiv-2043084302">It&#39;s called undefended, but I&#39;m positive the border guards have guns. They <br/>
were certainly unwilling for me to leave my bag at the guardhouse while I <br/>
looked around Pt Roberts! So much for &#39;southern&#39; hospitality, coming from <br/>
Canada.<br/>
<br/>
I saw NZ apples for sale in Pt roberts, as I did in Vancouver. But due to <br/>
quaratine regulations, NZ (and possibly other) apples bought in the US can&#39;t <br/>
be taken into Canada. I wonderwhat the Pt Roberts kids pack for lunch when <br/>
they are bussed through Canada to school in mainland USA?<br/>

&gt;the towers in the first & last photos here by doug<br/>

&gt;actually mark<br/>
&gt;   or very narrowly miss but certainly dominate<br/>
&gt;a nicely matched pair of binational tripoints<br/>
&gt;namely bccwwa1 & bccwwa2 respectively<br/>
&gt;comprising the 2 more westerly & most illustrious of the 3 bccwwa <br/>
&gt;trijunctions<br/>
&gt;all together forming that unusual set of triplet tripoints<br/>
&gt;shared by<br/>
&gt;   british columbia province &<br/>
&gt;   the candian federal waters aka crown waters &<br/>
&gt;   washington state  or the usa<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;these 2 tripoints & their towers are extra special not only because of<br/>
&gt;their near definitive relations with kinky point roberts<br/>
&gt;but also because the first of them marks the western land terminus of the<br/>
&gt;longest nominally undefended boundary in the world<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;the third  & odd member out  of the trio<br/>
&gt;bccwwa3<br/>
&gt;is a bit farther east of point roberts<br/>
&gt;between white rock bc & blaine wa<br/>
&gt;where the continental caus megatranssect begins or ends in earnest<br/>
&gt;hopefully right behind this tower<br/>

&gt;& thus also hopefully just blocked from view by it too<br/>
