Here are some still images I took with my video
camera. Photographs are coming soon.
Descriptions:
"house-looking-east.jpg" is the home of Dora and
Lyle Hurtibuse. These are the folks that were featured in the Burlington
Free Press article posted here some weeks ago. Their farm, and their
house, lies directly on the border. This shot, looking east, shows their
home and a bordermarker in the foreground. Canada is to the left.
The border isn't marked in their home, but basically runs between the two
windows. I visited with them for several hours. They were very
nice. Their home is located just west of the border crossing on
Quebec highway 139.
"pavement-change-abercorn.jpg" is a shot
of the pavement change on Highway 139 at the official crossing (about 1km east
of the Hurtibuse house).
"marker599-abercorn-pq.jpg" is the border marker at
the official crossing.
"hurtibuse-house.jpg" is taken from the highway 139
crossing looking west. I've added a faint line to show where the border
is.
"vermont-marker.jpg" I've never seen one of
these before -- a marker showing the state boundary of Vermont. This is
located at the crossing on Interstate 91/Autoroute 55 -- east of Derby Line, VT
- Stanstead, PQ.
More to come!!
