They have these cool cholla cactus here that the birds like to make nests in. Also they have wild tarantulas and Kona found one on our bike ride. I found a Yucca and it stabbed me in the leg. There is also a picture here of part of the border fence. They have pedestrian fence and vehicle fence. This is the vehicle fence.

Here are some pics from my job. A little bit of the scenery, me next to a really old monument put up by the Mexicans to define the border, my nifty security clearance badge, the old border fence, and the new border fence. Also note that I am wearing steel toed boots, a safety vest and hard hat. I have to wear all of this everyday ALL day.

Here are some pics from New Mexico/Texas. I live right on the border-technically I live in Texas and I work in New Mexico. Kona and I explored a biking and hiking trail together. All the plants here have huge thorns or small ones that get stuck in you.
