The waymark coordinates are for the twin border monuments west of the of the spillway of Falcon Dam.
US citizens should be aware that it is impossible to visit the waymark coordinates without first passing through the US border patrol checkpoint on the east side of the dam, meaning that in order to visit the waymark coordinates, you must leave the country.
In order to return to the United States, all US citizens must have their passports and must go through the border patrol checkpoint.
For this reason, we will accept ANY photograph of the border monuments personally taken by you as proof of a visit. There are multiple places along the US-side shoreline to take a photo of the dam, and the border monuments are very tall and distinctive.
In fact, the day Blasterz were there, the entire dam was closed for maintenance. The closest we could get to the dam was N 26° 34.939 W 099° 08.636.
