2800 miles without a schedule. Started in Salt Lake City, Utah. Heading to NWOR 2015. Stopped at various forest campgrounds on the way. Spent 2 days at rally and headed north of the border. Canadian crossing was ok until they decided to due a complete inventory of everything and every nook and cranny of my truck and camper. They were really nice and polite and put everything back where they found it. I guess they don't like when you answer the questions with I don't know where I am going and I don't know how long I will be. Onto Chilliwack. Wife found a neat antique store she spent hours in. Luckily she didn't buy anything. Traveled along highway 3 and found a spot for the night. Then onto Osoyoo Lake, spent a Few nights there and was treated to a wonderful lightning show. Enough of the 108 temperature and head to Glacier Park. Dropped back into Washington and got a the US Customs search of everything. It must be my look or something. Spent some time bouncing around Washington and Oregon. Entering Glacier Park was pleasant. Spent first night in Fish Creek and then headed to Kintla Lake, was definetly worth the drive. Couple nights there then onto Road to the Sun. and onto St. Mary's. Then Meander back to Salt Lake City.
...I too, just returned from Canada (entered and exit) via Hwy 97. Like you, and perhaps it's the look of our campers, but I got the royal treatment too. I did everything right, new where I was going, for how long and all my paperwork was in order. They were polite and courteous and returned everything they moved back in it's place. The officer asked me to come out and help open/lift my camper top. Coming back into USA was uneventful and I was back home. Had an excellent adventure. I will go again someday.
