<div id="ygrps-yiv-1066077992">At long last, I&#39;ve gotten the film developed of Mike and Asher&#39;s Border<br/>
Adventure.  Between trouble with the Parks Police, camera trouble, and much of<br/>
the island being blocked to tourists, I didn�t have the chance to take many<br/>
photos.<br/>
<br/>
	This first photo is, depending upon your point of view:<br/>
<br/>
1.	A brave attempt to mark the first of the reference points of the New Jersey<br/>
- New York border on Ellis Island and the resulting boundary<br/>
<br/>
2.	An act of vandalism.<br/>
<br/>
The �X� marks the point, with the lines at 6 and 9 o�clock marking the njny<br/>
border.  The area from 6 to 9 is New York, the outer section being New Jersey.<br/>
<br/>
The water jug came in handy to erase our handiwork.<br/>
