One More Week till We Leave for Alaska

One more week till departure for Alaska.  Unless something else comes up, or falls off, to delay our trip.

We have learned that Canadian customs officers make sure that you enter the country self-sufficiently, so as not to burden their social service network.  So we went to Costco yesterday.  Bought up enough toilet paper and tuna fish for six weeks.  They should not worry.

Tho we understand that they will search any truck or trailer with Texas plates like ours.  Lookin' for guns.  They be watchin' too many reruns of Dallas in those little inspection booths during slow times.  Don't they know that most US states now allow anyone to own any gun they want?  The whole country is going Texan.  Yee haw!

One more week.

You may be surprised. It all depends on what kind of day the border guard is having. Sometimes it's nothing and we really see them search anyone.

Remember to let us know where you are. We will be in Northern BC for most of the month and early June.
