Screwed up governments ...

[darthandy]

Well I knew the governments on both sides of the border got screwed up some years back, but I didn't realize how far back till I saw this. I guess we never had a chance, did we?

Yea that was hilarious!! Thanks for posting that..

I cant help but wonder what that international border cut thru the trees looks like from space - I some how envision a saw tooth pattern like I used to cut in pumpkins for hollow ween - just a big hollow ween pumpkin floating in space.. Maybe scare away an alien or two.. I know one thing,, if I were one of those cowboys cutting that path back in the 1800's I would have done that hahahah

Of course back in the day they had crews go in and cut the trees and remove the brush.

Then in late 50’s early 60’s they found a real easy way to do it. They sprayed a defoliant chemical to keep some of the boarder strip clear…………….OH! YES THEY DID! Agent Orange!

Till someone pointed out, it was kind of bad stuff. But they don't like to talk about that much.

The wife and I were touring down by the tail of the dragon on our way out to sturgis last year, we camped for the night not to far from a little town up in the mountains that literally was one state on one side of the road and another on the other.. Seems like it was the Georgia/Tennessee line..

Anyway, I am really curious if there are any International border towns like that between our two great countrys..

Well there is one at Stanstead, Quebec and Derby Line, Vermont. Here's an interesting article written by a motorcycling journalist who visited the town(s) in 2010. Get this - there's an opera house where the performances take place in Canada and most of the audience is sitting in the U.S. Cool or what?

Makes for interesting reading. There are others but this is a good place to start.

Interesting. Now if we could do it on the south. A ditch full of gators would work.

Naw, they'd eat the 'gators and use the hides to make boats and paddle across. You'll need a better plan!
