great new pix & reports<br/>
& please do add more any time<br/>
<br/>
m<br/>
<br/>
azbcso can be seen & probably reached<br/>
but the veggies do just block both the view & the access at azbcca<br/>
& the towers promise to help but dont quite reward the climb <br/>
<br/>
now if the cable car could be used<br/>
that would certainly do it<br/>
ah but that is a big if<br/>
<br/>
otherwise a machete or flame thrower or some new inspiration will be <br/>
necessary there<br/>

&gt; wow thanks for all the detailed info, the maritime boundaries <br/>
hadn&#39;t <br/>
&gt; even occured to me. landlubber! <br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; In regards to the bcazca and sonbcaz tripoints i didn&#39;t expect to <br/>
&gt; find an exact point but rather where the &#39;iron curtain&#39; would meet <br/>
&gt; the river at the 2 points. I&#39;ve been over the colorado and <br/>
vacationed <br/>
&gt; there on occasion as a child and the vegetation is quite thick, so <br/>
I <br/>
&gt; thought seeing the wall end at some point and water begin would <br/>
&gt; suffice for me. That&#39;s my next trip since i am so close i think <br/>
i&#39;ll <br/>
&gt; do it this week sometime and post photos here. <br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; I did get down to border field state park yesterday and snapped <br/>
&gt; around 50 photos with the digital camera from the US side. I&#39;ll <br/>
post <br/>
&gt; a few of the most enjoyable ones here. Click on the &#39;photos&#39; <br/>
category <br/>
&gt; on the left hand side of this page, then us/mex border. Please note <br/>
&gt; how different the monument and wall look now compared to the photo <br/>
on <br/>
&gt; the IBWC website <br/>
&gt; (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.ibwc.state.gov/LANDBOUN/land_boundary.htm)">http://www.ibwc.state.gov/LANDBOUN/land_boundary.htm)</a><br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; The last monument at border field state park is easily accesible <br/>
but <br/>
&gt; most of the border wall is quite heavily fortified as to where it <br/>
is <br/>
&gt; difficult to get close in many spots. Most of the border patrol <br/>
&gt; agents are amicable too, in contrast to how it actually feels there.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; As far as for other monuments in my area, I&#39;ve found that it&#39;s <br/>
&gt; actually much easier to access the monuments from within TJ. <br/>
They&#39;ve <br/>
&gt; built many semi-highways that zip right along the border wall and <br/>
&gt; that&#39;s the best way to access these points (near the airport and <br/>
&gt; towards the beach). Of course that also makes it difficult to stop <br/>
&gt; and casually snap a photo. And since the wall was built a foot or 2 <br/>
&gt; behind the monument the US shield is difficult to see. <br/>
