what i wanted to add yesterday when i had to run is that i am <br/>
grateful for what you said here below to redeem the natural beauty & <br/>
freshness of the border field area in my mind <br/>
for it is an important area not only because the visible mxus line <br/>
ends in the sea there but also because of 2 or 3 little known <br/>
tripoints associated with it<br/>
<br/>
the first of these <br/>
bccamx <br/>
is right there on the beach on the mexican side of the wall where the <br/>
monumented dry mxus line falls to within 20 or 10 horizontal meters <br/>
of the high tide mark <br/>
tho i forget which of these numbers is the legally correct one<br/>
oops<br/>
<br/>
but whichever it is<br/>
this is the point where the mexican federal maritime territory meets <br/>
california & the mexican state of baja california norte<br/>
<br/>
it is strange & possibly unique in the world that the mexican federal <br/>
seas include this dry margin along the beach but they do<br/>
<br/>
it is as if they have a couple of extra long narrow federal districts <br/>
running the full length of both their coasts <br/>
but i figure these must be interrupted by coastal cities etc <br/>
<br/>
<br/>
in any case if you should find a mexican marker at that position on <br/>
the monumented mxus line <br/>
as distinct from the common sort of international mxus marker <br/>
you will be the first to find any mexican federative marker anywhere<br/>
<br/>
i have looked for several other & more obvious prospects elsewhere <br/>
along the mxus line but havent found a one<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
the other 2 tripoints are in the sea along the westward projection of <br/>
the monumented mxus line<br/>
<br/>
bccaus <br/>
at about 3 nautical miles seaward<br/>
or where american federal seas meet california waters<br/>
is likely to be visible on a clear day <br/>
<br/>
& elmxus <br/>
at about 12 nautical miles seaward<br/>
thus perhaps at the horizon on a very clear day if you are sitting on <br/>
top of the wall & wishfully thinking<br/>
the point where american & mexican territorial seas meet the high <br/>
seas or what we have sometimes been calling everyones land & <br/>
abbreviating el<br/>
<br/>
this last point is also a quadripoint of sorts <br/>
mxusmxus<br/>
where the exclusive economic zones of both countries meet the <br/>
territorial seas of both<br/>
an important point either way you look at it if indeed you care & are <br/>
lucky enough to glimpse it<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
must run again<br/>
but that about covers it anyway<br/>
<br/>
