glacier_dup1 Posted September 13, 2001 Share Posted September 13, 2001 Any beta on the border crossing these days - the northbound traffic cams look pretty bad - http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/Regions/Northwest/Traffic/BorderCams/ How's the southbound delay? Or should I just save the fine Canadian granite for later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted September 13, 2001 Share Posted September 13, 2001 mybc.com is reporting "no significant waits" northbound at most border crossings, but 4 hr waits southbound. worth coming across at sumas & aldergrove rather than peace arch at busy times like this. VANCOUVER (CKNW) - Motorists headed to the United States can expect waits >of >at least four hours at the Pacific Highway border crossing. > > >However, coming north into Canada, there are no lengthy delays either in >B.C. or at other crossings across the country, with one exception. New York >State troopers are re-directing all truck traffic into a compound at the >Queenston, Ont., crossing. > > >As many as 400 trucks are waiting there to be processed. > > >At another Ontario crossing, the southbound back-up is so extreme, >officials >say it is impossible to estimate the wait time. Lighter than normal >northbound traffic is reported Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminal_Gravity Posted September 19, 2001 Share Posted September 19, 2001 I entered Canada through Kingsport out of Idaho on the morning of 9/13 with no delays and returned at 10 pm on 9/17 and was searched by a courtious US border gaurd that was more interested in climbing and my gear than the cuban cigar he found. The entire process took less than 15 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminal_Gravity Posted September 19, 2001 Share Posted September 19, 2001 Okay, here's the deal. I had "cleverly" removed the band prior to attempting the hairy un-protected route across the border full of objective exposure. I also did not try to hide it, which would have been easy enough. He asked where was the origin of cigar. I played dumb and quizically said "Canada". There was a long pause where we just exchanged knowing looks and then he handed me the cigar back. We then discussed Afganistan, he closed by saying have a safe drive. It was clear that he had bigger fish to fry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
