I am crossing the border for the holidays Saturday.....will inform those here of what I encounter.

Did same earlier this fall from a camping/canoeing excursion. They asked us to open our suitcases and rubbermaid storage bins and they poked around in them. I wouldn't attempt to take any booze, cigs or firearms across the border--they're being much more thorough than they usually are. Luckily, they didn't confiscate our many cans of maple syrup--yum.

Lat time we went to Canada (pre-911), we were towing our boat, packed with equipment and supplies and the Jeep was likewise. We weren't bothered on the way out or on the way back. I was sweating, but only because of all the work it would take to cram all that stuff back. We don't travel light (grin). We would do it differently now, for sure.
