<div id="ygrps-yiv-1809094599">It&#39;s &quot;too late now&quot;, but just in case anyone taped<br/>
it, or in case it shows up somewhere down the road,<br/>
there was a story on Canada&#39;s Global TV show Global<br/>
National yesterday(Sept 8th) that showed maintenance<br/>
of the border vista. It was in Quebec, and showed:<br/>
- workers removing brush, and cutting down trees<br/>
- removal of a small shack<br/>
- a rustic-looking &#39;cabin&#39; that was in the woods,<br/>
   right on the edge of the border vista, which<br/>
   apparently was OK, as they weren&#39;t removing it<br/>
- a broken border monument, of the same style as<br/>
   shown in my photo:<br/>

- replacement of a border monument(the broken one<br/>
   shown above?), in which there was a hole of maybe<br/>
   4 feet by 4 feet by 4 feet deep, with the new<br/>
   monument &#39;in place&#39; being held by wooden bracing,<br/>
   and a person with a survey-grade GPS, and another<br/>
   person who, in response to direction from the person<br/>
   with the GPS, was using a sledge hammer to tap the<br/>
   base of the monument(down in the hole) to get it into<br/>
   exactly the right position<br/>
