At Coronado National Memorial, Arizona, here to photograph the blasting of a mountain away for a new section of the border wall.

Connection is too weak to upload a photo right now.

The blast window is between noon and 5 PM. It's quarter to one now, so I could have a long wait. The bulldozer working the slope just left, but there are several trucks and an excavator still there, so they are probably not about to blast just yet.

The location is just west of where the Arizona Trail starts at the border. When you start the hike, the tradition is to take a selfie at the border monument. But the wall will cut off access to it.
