It looks like that box has a sticker on it that says "THE DEPARTMENT OF WATER" so I would guess it is water telemetry. Or sewer. Location is just north of the border at Point Roberts. Am I close MW ? :D |

So it's for the Canadians and they put the receiver on US soil? |

If you look at the map that antenna is located about 5 or 10 feet north of the border. It is on the Canadian side. |

For example, "So am I most of the time" would be literal. Whereas "but my wife still thinks she is the boss" is figurative. Either way, she wins. They always do... |

Since the Google Car photo resolution is too low I wondered what that nice US CBP sign said "...at English Bluff Road, Delta facing Marine Drive, Point Roberts" http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b7/Warning_sign_at_Point_Roberts.jpg Now, to see the sign facing Canada... which is probably the same. Also, I like the tower at the opposite end of the island on the border. A lookout / sighting tower? |
