The Tijuana
River Estuary Interpretive Center, Part 3
The visitor center
is the solid concrete gray green building / bunker to the right
and partially hidden in the tall grass.
A brief examination
of the building’s windows shows that they are heavier than
normal and this might reflect the facility’s allure for
frequent burglaries.
If there is one verified
migration route well defined in the public records it isn't one
for birds but for the “illegal alien border travelers.”
This visitor center has to be a fortress to survive the periodic
assaults of the people coming from the south.
If you look closely
you will notice that the street adjacent to the "facility"
is covered in a gentle layer of broken glass from all the automobile
burglaries.
Near the building entrance
and to the left you will see that building’s floor plan
was not all that it should have been and someone inside has filled
his floor to ceiling window with what looks like the back of a
kitchen sink with dish soap bottles beneath.
To the right is a luxurious
restroom. To the front is the gift shop and visitor center. Since
the employees have no one to talk to all day but themselves they
all seem eager to meet new friends.
To keep them smiling
don’t ask how much they make (and if, unlike you, they have
100% fully covered medical insurance), don’t ask why all
the mud is such an odd color (and why it blows bubbles) and don’t
ask what happened to the guy who’s only trace is that one
mud covered tennis shoe (The Swamp Shoe) stuck out there in the
mud by the trail.
