Contrast this with three of us in a junk Jeepster in 1962. "Any weapons?" "No sir". "Any alcohol?" "A part bottle of Bourbon" "Can't bring that into the country, turn around or pour it out." At Niagra falls, we turned back. An hour later, same official "Any alcohol?" "No Shirr." "Going to Montreal?" "Yesh Shirr." "Look out for the women!"

Well, we will get to experience a border crossing first hand a bit later
today. The GMC CASCADERS held a rally in British Columbia, Canada this week
end. At a resort area somewhere a little northeast of Chilliwack at
Harrison Hot Springs. A number of quality RV parks in the area. And a first
class Hotel with a night club with a dance floor and live music played at
the level that when you leave you still all the hearing that you came in
with. Such a deal. Dinner, dancing, and a whole group of our U.S. and
Canadian friends. About 48 of us if I counted right. 23 GMC coaches. Great
Fun, hate to see it come to an end.John Harper even put on a workshop on
finding leaks in coaches. Borrowed a large capacity blower from a friend
who has an indoor grow operation, didn't ask what he grows. Jury rigged an
adaptor to cover the tollbooth window, sealed the exterior with wide
masking tape, and turned on the blower, then sprayed the exterior with
bubbles. No problems finding the leaks. Plenty to go around. I have a
couple of pictures in my phone that I can send if anyone is interested,
send me a PM and I will forward them.

Nah, 18. You could booze at 18 in New Yark in them days. We went up into the Laurenten Mountains from Niagra, it got cold as hell. The old Jeepster was the only thing in the campground that would crank, we pushed and boosted half a dozen campers. Worked our way East to the Bat of Fundy to see the tide come in and the drove back down to Cape Cod where we started.
