Another interesting part of visiting Buttercup in the Imperial Sand Dunes is the border wall. The border wall is real, and it's crazy to see it out in the middle of the desert. Border Patrol trucks run up and down the wall, but our understanding is that most of the surveillance is now done electronically.
There has to be constant maintenance along the wall to keep the sand from drifting over it.
A couple of border patrol trucks.
Much further east, they were doing some work on the U.S. side of the wall.
It appeared that they were putting in a road or something. I don't know how they'll keep the sand off of this.
The wall goes on for miles in both directions.
We hear about the wall, but to see it up close is crazy. It is one of those things that is hard to wrap your brain around.
