Back in the US....

Day 86, Friday, 9/11: Woke early this morning and had a campfire to finish up the wood. Bob cooked breakfast outside which was a treat and we had a pleasant morning, our last in Canada for this trip. This area is beautiful and we would like to come back here again someday and stay a little longer. We were packed up and on the road by 9:45. Another beautiful sunny day!!! Stopped in Hope for fuel and then on the Abbotsford to the border crossing. This was the 8th time we have crossed the US/Canada border and wouldn’t you know it, for the very first time they searched us!!!! Asked about fruit and veggies and of course I had to tell them I had a few tomatoes and two kiwi’s so the agriculture inspector had to look. He made us stay in the office and spent quite a bit of time looking in the truck, the camper and the trailer. We had declared the wine but they didn’t even question that! Didn’t ask to see the shotgun either. It’s kind of strange what they focus on. He asked about meat which we have some in the freezer, all purchased at grocery stores. Nothing wild. Made me nervous and I’m not sure why. Guess it is just their attitude as if they think you are guilty of something…. It was a relief when he finally gave us our passports back and said have a nice day! So we are back in the US once again. Continued driving to a place called Fall City, WA and staying at an RV park there. We are tired, hot and in need of showers.
