When I was immigrating here from Canada 34 years ago, the last time I crossed I had all my stuff with me packed in an Old Honda Civic. They stopped us at the border and separated us in 2 rooms and started interrogating us. They were accusing Mrs of smuggling me in the country. Like we were doing a good job of it. I had my Greencard coming and was waiting for the consulate to call. It took a good hour of grilling us. , She had all the form numbers and dates memorized like a woman does. They finally let us go. That was a trip to remember.

Crossed over Canadian border at Niagara Falls prepared for lots of questions. ONLY thing gal asked me was purpose of trip, how long will we be in Canada, do we have any weapons with us, & what is your tag number. Crossed back into US at Sault Ste. Marie. Asked if we had anything to declare and, once again, what is your tag number. Easy peasy…

We've been on car ferries with the motorcycle many times in the Seattle area but never on one up where we are going on this trip. Can anyone give me any insite on the Tobermory to South Baymouth Ferry other than the info on their website? Thanks for any information you can provide!!!
Sounds like a great ride. I hope the heat has not made your ride too difficult.
