Short Description of Activity
Work with Arizona Broadband Leaders recording environmental data along the Arizona Border – (1) at the San Pedro River; (2) south of Sonoita at switchbacks on a mountain prepped for destruction and wall; (3) hike Walker Canyon with good Samaritans carrying water and food to be left for migrants; (4) inventorying bollards, rebar and other debris east of Nogales on western slopes of the Patagonia Mountains; and (5) driving cliffs and recording data above border wall west of Nogales.
Reflection/Evaluation
(1) We found 66 gates at the San Pedro River – double barbed wire fencing and dangerous medium sized boulders; (2) truckload of camouflaged men said they were National Guard but not from AZ; (3) Walker Canyon beautiful – water heavy; (4) bollards illegally stacked along the border wall road – road at one point 110 feet wide; and (5) Border Patrol kept us out of staging area – debris along the cliff road. Camped 7 nights on Kate Scott’s Ranch – provided chuckwagon for all.
