What a great place to monument a cool IBWC reference point benchmark disk.

This spot is inside the customs zone, but the US customs officers are familiar with people walking around the boundaries and barriers here to take a picture at the historic marker. It is not a problem to visit this monument without getting permission from the US Border Patrol first.
