During a recent visit to University of Redlands, Thomas and I took a side trip to San Bernardino to check out the site of the Little League West regionals. It's weirdly right in the middle of a housing development though I presume the houses have grown up around the site over the years. The stadium itself is unaccessible by car. We were able to pull into a middle school parking lot and get a good view of the stands and field through the chain link fence.

The Border
Yesterday we drove as close as we could get to the border with Mexico. We were hoping to hike a trail to the beach, but unfortunately it was closed. We did see glimpses of the border wall and there were helicopters continuously circling the area from a nearby base. We ended up going north a few miles to Imperial Beach/Tijuana Wildlife Refuge and walking south until we couldn't stand the stench from the raw sewage that apparently flows into the ocean from Mexico. It was seriously an awful smell.
