Eddie's story is somewhat disturbing.
On one hand, it makes me wonder if the US Customs does such a check for incoming foreigners.
On the other hand, it makes me wonder how the Canadians can do that with even the slightest bit of efficiency.
On my third hand, it makes me wonder if the US government knows about this procedure by the Canadian Customs. It put's a small wrench in the NAFTA thing.
Back on topic, one of my friends goes to God's Lake each year. It's a fly in. I could get some details from him if you need.
Another NAFTA SNAFU...Try traveling to Mexico with tools, equipment, parts etC. to do work. We usually have to try and sneak anything in on a tourist visa, or go 2 wks. early to Mexican consulate for a work visa. A while back, a service engineer went to install some Navigation equipment on a ship in a Mexican shipyard. Tools and some install material was sent in advance. He got the stuff on the last day after being there for a week. He used a screwdriver and crescent wrench borrowed from the ships electrician to do the work.
DISGUSTING.
