Border Field State Park

What travelers say:

The "park" is just a dilapidated few buildings, parking lot and paths through the scrub. My brother and I joked about the remote possibility of seeing anyone sneaking across what with 5 military helicopters flying/training overhead at 2pm as we walked the mile and a half to see where the fence reaches into the ocean. We chatted with the last of the other sightseers returning from the fence and were only about 200 yards from it when two young guys popped up out of nowhere. Just as suddenly came a Border Patrol vehicle whipping up. The two guys started to bolt as the border agents yelled at them, they stopped and had a brief standoff, and then relented and all involved piled into the vehicle and drove off. What timing, what a sight to see. An apprehension right before our very eyes. There were plenty of people milling around on the other side of the fence but these two really did reach, "The Promised Land" for better or for worse. Kudos to our border agents for all their hard work.
