In November 2004 I rode on an excursion train on the Indiana Northeastern Railroad that originated in Angola, Indiana, and made a roundtrip to Hillsdale, Michigan. On the return trip, we made a photo stop at the appropriately named State Line Road. I am standing in Indiana watching the train come out of Michigan. (Scanned from a slide)
Elk deciding that she was going to be part of the view - no amount of enticing would shift her as she'd taken her stick stub with her !
I took my border collie, Kodiak, out for a hike in Angeles National Forest. After driving through the desert the lush pine Angeles forest was such a welcome site. There were still wildflowers in bloom and small patches of snow on the shaded mountain peaks.
He has discoid lupus erythematosus (aka collie nose), an autoimmune disorder that causes his skin to blister and bleed when exposed to UV rays. He has been about two weeks without a Lupus-bleed-blister flare up. I thought that with proper sun protection he could manage a hike. He did well on the hike, however a few days later his nose was pink and starting to bleed a teeny bit.

There has been much discussion about the construction of a wall between the United States and Mexico. However, this discussion largely ignores the fact that a wall -- or fence -- already exists in many places along the border in the more populated areas. This image captures the layers of fencing used to divide the US city of El Paso, Texas, and the Mexican city of Juarez, Chihuahua. This fence runs along a portion of the concreted Rio Grande River and what is known as the border highway in El Paso.

The pattern is from one of my online friends. She did it as a mystery quilt yesterday. I added the borders.

The top arrangement is the one I had planed for my picture and would only require 24 slices of cane. However, the arrangement below is more appealing but will require 40 slices. I can just about make it.
A small guard tower just at the border of the land. To show a presents to everyone else that the land is conquered.
I took this picture in the area of ​​West Surabaya, is border with the neighboring town, Gresik.
Back in the day, tourists could take a boat from Waterton Park in Canada's Alberta province south along Upper Waterton Lake across the international border to Goat Haunt in Montana, USA, and then hike back to Waterton.
I took the above shot at the international boundary during my hike back to get my car in order to drive back into the US via a border checkpoint (unmanned on my way north early that morning, but manned on my way back in late afternoon) to my hotel in West Glacier; there were no Canadian border posts/inspections.
It is interesting to see that only minute changes were made from the 1818 marker to the 1925 marker; the firebreak on the far shore of the lake is a continuing indication of the border. Alberta, Canada is to the left; I was just inside Montana, USA.
Of course, this was pre-9/11! I believe that Canadians and Americans could still do this sort of trip after 9/11 but not those like me from further abroad. With the orange-faced man-baby back in Washington, I suppose there's a possibility that a wall might blight this view at some point in the future...
And yes, sorry, that's my rucksack getting into the picture by mistake...
