<br/>
I dig the old photos, man things have changed <br/>

In regards to the missing marker, they unfortunately assume on this <br/>
site that the last 2 post cards are of the same monument as the <br/>
previous ones but they are not. The first 6 photos show #258, the one <br/>
that overlooks the pacific and the final 2 postcards show #255, which <br/>
is at the san ysidro port of entry. I haven&#39;t found this one as of <br/>
yet but i know it exists and my research has revealed that it is near <br/>
where the tijuana river enters the US, which is just west of the port <br/>
(about 200 yards?), but I somehow suspect that it is just east of the <br/>
custom house, behind it. Everytime I am in the area I am just so <br/>
tired from the excessive waits to return to the US that i always say <br/>
that i&#39;ll find it &#39;manana&#39;.<br/>
<br/>
If you look at some of the photos of the above mentioned monument I <br/>
posted here on the &#39;photos&#39; section and then under US/MEX border, <br/>
especially the one of it in the forground and the fence running in to <br/>
the ocean you can see where the original concrete base still exists <br/>
and the holes where the fence surrounding the monument were are still <br/>
visible, with newer concrete poured in a semi-circle around it. Just <br/>
like the post cards said it would be.<br/>
<br/>
I also added another photo to the &#39;photos&#39; section under the US/MEX <br/>
category of my car parked in the section of the wall that I had <br/>
mentioned earlier that is used to truck in water from TJ to SD for <br/>
recycling. This photo is much better than the other. Man anywhere <br/>
else but on this board people would think i am a freak for liking <br/>
stuff like that, but it&#39;s very enclave-like in that access for non-<br/>
water truck driving types is only through a foreign country. Not that <br/>
theres anything there of much interest, a pure techinicality only.<br/>
