| no partners | | | Needed something close to home and I hadn't been down in a few months so off I went. Looking very dry, with a weak monsoon and not as much benefit from storms as up north. But seeps and springs had water and several cattle tanks. Walked down a portion of a canyon that I don't usually frequent then up a scrambly side canyon; again it's been a while. The name mine is now gated off but I had explored it fully years ago. Some pools of water. Then drive down to the border fence. The aid station is completely gone and the area quite clean. The military will probably learn to lock their gates as I drove across a small berm someone was using and drove up the hill paralleling the border wall. A humvee was parked near the gate past the end of the wall blocking additional driving, the cat cut past that is really brutal and not really drivable IMO. In fact a civilian looking vehicle appeared stuck mid hill climb. They had razor wired around the end of the wall so I could not go around to see if the instruction plaques were still there. I waved, turned around and drove back out. They have not extended the wall but I have no doubt that there are plans; maybe just not funding right now. Over the hill is a canyon that is a traditional migration path so I wonder if they are monitoring it more. BP has had sensors in there for years. There was a beat up looking large military camp tent on a flat area nearby. Saw some people doing a "bird count". Kinda busy down here for non illegal immigration. |
