The north fence of the complex is very close to the road thanks to the steep terrain. That means the easement, the place strangers are allowed to walk and drive on, is against the fence. Hence I can take incriminating photos on public property. Fencing visible from the road is topped by UltraBarrier�, "the durable, maintenance-free stainless steel deterrent that conveys the 'message' without the prison appearance of razor wire."

The spikes are carefully installed so to be invisible to pedestrians. Uphill where the fence is hidden by trees the Scientologists are free to show their true nature.  There the fence is ten to fifteen feet tall and bigfoot proof. The top is covered with the concertina wire found in every other gulag archipelago around the world. Twin peaks is like an isolated island. The fence is the shore, the lowest point.  NO SWIMMING.We saw plenty of evidence that the emergency landscaping they did some months ago on the south fence looks terrible. They want to stop protesters from seeing inside but their efforts have been very slapdash so far.  And Scientology HATES it when things don't look perfect.
