Just remember, no matter where we decide to hold it, those traveling between Canada and U.S. will require documentation next year.
JANUARY 31, 2008
U.S. and Canadian citizens will need to present either a WHTI-compliant document, or a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, plus proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate. DHS also proposes to begin alternative procedures for U.S. and Canadian children at that time.
For most folks the WHTI document is a passport. Otherwise, drag out that birth certificate.
we need to decide a location first. as it seems that most of us are located in the central or eastern us and kanukistan so i propose either my place orthe smoky mts area.
smok
Of those that are going where do we all live ? I know that I am going to be the one with the most miles other then Owl Girl ,but thats OK were do the most of you live so that you do not have as far to go ,and what time of year , I am retied so no bigy here for me but for others ??? It may be hard to get the time off for some??
Hey Smok how bout a trip to SoCal before headin to the destination. Im mad lookin at this fun activity thats bein planned and the chances of me goin......slim.I honestly dont think my parents will let me go, but Ill try seeein I need the practice probanly the most (exept Carpet Ninja)
I'm in, any of the places mentioned so far would be fine with me.
i vote for wareagles place......but i'm only saying that cause he's 2 hours drive north of me... :P
Where abouts in northern Ontario wareagle?
Just let me know when and where.
My vote's with WarEagle's place. I'm tired of those Homeland Security dudes wanting to strip search me everytime I cross the border. You'd think I'd get flowers or candy or something, but.....guess I'm just a suspicious looking guy...sigh.
Yeah? Canada's a big place.....Quote:

(I'm a charmer, I know).
Comin' back into the States some guy with a 10 cent stogie was sitting in the customs booth on the U.S. side waving me through. "Just Hellfire missiles in the back", I chuckled as I drove straight into the U.S.
Then there was the customs station in AK at the continental divide that said. Customs station open 8-5. Please stand in front of camera after hours.
Boy, those days are sure gone.
Well, I'd rather provide a grand tour than the grand tour ...:DQuote:

Typos, intentional or otherwise, notwithstanding, I think it is of paramount importance to point out to our brethren here gathered that in order to get back on trax you would have at some time have to have been on trax and that is most definitely not the case. :D :D
Now that we're back on track....if nell wants the great Canadian tour with moi, that's just fine :rolleyes::p
I noticed a few people mention holding this in Wisconsin. If that happens check out the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest in Northern Wisconsin. www.fs.fed.us/r9/cnnf
im going to assume this is for everyone?
or what...
and if so
somewhere with snow! I get snow every once every ten years
It's what she wants trax!Quote:

Lovin it!:D
Don't want to hurt any feelings here, but I hope you all have noticed that I didn't invite the rest of you....:rolleyes:....Quote:
