I&#39;ve never been to El Paso, so I can&#39;t give any first-hand advice.  It seems<br/>
that contacting the Border Patrol as a professor should work.<br/>
<br/>
That big green tree seems to be part of a small park on the Mexican side of the<br/>
boundary.  It seems accessible at the upper end of the road that runs along the<br/>
river past the industry just south of the dry boundary.  If it weren&#39;t a park, I<br/>
doubt that the tree would have lasted this long in that industrial setting.<br/>

&gt; My visit to the CHNMTX tripoint last month ended with a polite but<br/>
&gt; serious suggestion by the border guard who found me poking around the<br/>
&gt; business parking lot of the offices of the brick company with my<br/>
&gt; GPS.  I asked about the existence of Bndry Mker 1 and he<br/>
&gt; said &quot;there&#39;s nothing much to see there.&quot;  Darn!  Clearly there is a<br/>
&gt; monument, shown in the Urban Areas Terraserver photo... and a healthy<br/>
&gt; stand of trees in an otherwise desolate unvegetated area.  I&#39;ll try<br/>
&gt; again - it may mean calling the Border Patrol ahead, saying I&#39;m a<br/>
&gt; geography professor (that often buys me a little consideration), and<br/>
&gt; being escorted to the monument.  Anyone (altheiak? Lowell?) have<br/>
&gt; experience with this? </span></blockquote></div>
