On the Edge

 

From a hike to Newby Lakes, last year. We hiked up to the border on the ridge South of the lakes.

We come up to places like this to nap, you see...

To the North, the long ridge that leads to Snowy Mountain. Beyond it are places like Harry Lake and Joe Lake.

We arrive at The Line.

Border marker number 103...

Which is, it seems, the site of the Armstrong Mountain border incident...

Evidently so embarrassing to both sides that all mention of it has been scrubbed from the history books.

Odd place for a snow bridge
