STATE NUMBER 26. I CAN NOT DESCRIBE THE FEELING I HAD WHEN I SAW THIS SIGN.


WEST BOUND I 8 AFTER CROSSING INTO CALIFORNIA. THE DIFFERENCE IN CACTUS TYPES IS VERY EASY TO SEE. I AM STILL WELL WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS CREST AS OF THIS PHOTO.


THIS IS THE SECOND BORDER CHECK THAT I HAVE GONE THROUGH ON THIS TRIP. THE FIRST ONE WAS IN NEW MEXICO. EVERYONE STOPS. GUARANTEED.


ANOTERH MIRROR SELF PORTRAIT, THIS TIME WITH MY GOGGLES AND MASK ON. SAVES WEAR AND TEAR ON THE FACE, LET ME TELL YOU.


SEE ANYTHING INTERESTING ON THIS CAR WITH CALIFORNIA PLATES? THE PEOPLE IN THE CAR WERE HEADED TO MEXICO. I AM SURE THAT THEY ARE RECENT IMMIGRANTS.


THIS IS THE BULL RING IN TIJUANA. THE FENCE CONSTITUTES THE END OF THE US AND THE BEGINNING OF MEXICO.


IT IS EASY TO SEE THE SHEET METAL AND CHAIN LINK FENCE THAT SEPARATES THE TWO COUNTRIES OF MEXICO AND THE US IN THIS PHOTO. JUST BARELY VISIBLE NEAR THE CREST OF THE HILL AND TO THE LEFT OF THE FENCE, ARE TWO WORLD WAR I I ERA BUNKERS THAT ARE SAID TO BE REMARKABLY PRESERVED. THEY WERE PUT INTO PLACE FOR THE POSSIBLE INVASION OF THE WEST COAST BY THE JAPANESE.


SUPERINTENDANT CLAY PHILLIPS AND THE BULL RING IN THE BACK GROUND. HE WAS VERY NICE TO ALLOW ME TO SEE THE BORDER AND HOW IT TERMINATES INTO THE SEA.


THE FENCE SEEN EARLIER LITERALLY ENDS IN THE OCEAN. YOU CAN SEE THE MEXICAN BEACH IS VERY POPULATED AND LIVELY. NOT SO THE AMERICAN BEACH JUST FEET AWAY. I AM STANDING SO THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO SEE MEXICO ON YOUR LEFT AND THE UNITED STATES ON YOUR RIGHT.
