howdy folks not posted in a loooong while.

a few months back i was fortunate enough to visit the new mexico/texas/chihuahua, mexico tripoint at el paso, tx. its quite easy to get there, and maybe about a half mile off the main paved road. here's the photos.

photo 1
to the left of the rocks is NM, right is CHIH and the factory in the background is in TX.

photo 2
waded out into the rio puddle (grande) and snapped this shot looking south into CHIH. fence on left is in tx, in fact the entire left side of the river is tx. NM is in the foreground on the right, and at about where the weeds start on the right is the beginning of CHIH. actually wet tp is somewhere in the middle of a puddle.

photo 3
(in the distance) yahoo! amnesty. i later saw all 6 return shortly after the photo was shot. as you can see the border is a series of the world's most secure rocks.

nicely done doctor
& glad to hear from you

anyone not receiving emails can see your pix at
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.culture.discuss.boundary-point/8800

&
tho the borders are of course all wrong here
http://maps.google.com/?ll=31.783957,-106.528126&spn=0.004478,0.007339&t=h
& the rio much higher than you found it besides
still the line of rocks can be spotted & zoomed &
followed to the wet tripoint position
just as you did on foot in paying the best known visit
there in history

my own tries at wading in to the deepest point were
interrupted by officious border patrol & other ominous
stuff from which i was lucky to just make good my
escapes
so it gives me a lot of satisfaction to learn you
nailed the point so well
