Hi m,
The photos I posted are in the 'Photos' category on the left of this
page, click on that and there's a category for US/MEX border photos.
I'll be posting more since that's my specialty as i get them.
The last time I was in Yuma running south the 23 miles to San Louis
RC in Sonora i was more into borders and the thought of tripoints
hadn't crossed my mind at that time. It was about 3 years ago, but
it's only about 3 hours drive from my house so I'll go and check it
out. There's actually 2 tripoints there, CA/BC/AZ and SON/BC/AZ,
within a few miles of each other. I'll get there soon and take some
photos and post them here.
In regards to the cable car ride, I am intrigued. How did you access
it? From the AZ side? or in BC (Los Algodones?). It seems like a
little out of the place there for a cable car as I remember the area
full of cotton fields. Not a whole lot of pedestrian traffic except
from the CA side. And that was all the snowbirds crossing the border
to buy prescriptions at a discount. There's actually a lot of
Canadians in Baja.
In response to Border Field, it is actually quite nice now the state
of California has spent a lot of money to upgrade this park that very
few people visit but that's fine by me sometimes I go there and just
relax and fall asleep listening to the radio in my car. Sure the
ride's not pretty getting there (last time i went there were huge
unpassable mounds of dirt in the road preventing my little car from
passing) but when you can get there it's worth it. Oh, and the border
monument is much more easily accesible from the TJ side. Just getting
back over the border in San Ysidro takes a looooong time.
Never visited the US/CAN border that's next on my list.
