Sunbathing in the Tijuana River flood basin 
 
 
  
 
Taking advantage of the heat that was present today in the city, a man took a break in the Canal of the Tijuana River at the height of the colonia 20
de Noviembre.

Ken, just too funny but unless he is drunk his chances of remaining lying out like that permanately are very good!!  Just maybe not the way he
intended to be lying out there.       Take Care & Travel Safe---- "No Hurry, No Worry, Just FUN"                        bajafun777

Same place in not such good times. Circa 1972 
We called it 'Cardboard City' 
Use to go look for runaway orphanes there 
Camera was incognito as Gov. was not happy.

I wonder how badly the water smells in that flood basin.

Walking over the pedestrain bridge over the TJ river 
it is common to see folks  doing who knows what, 
I can't imagine what the water quality is, however 
it probably doesn't compete with a river that flows 
thru Mexicali, then ends in the Salton Sea, 
called the New River, it ranks as 1 of the most 
polluted waterways in the US

In 1993, I remember walking with friends from one of the border-area bars towards the Rio Zone in Tijuana and running and jumping across this river. 
It was funny, because I didn't quite make the leap, so I washed my foot and leg off in a broken fire hydrant near Calle Revoluccion/Primera.
