CANADA BOUND

We made it into Latham, New York Sunday afternoon and were able to park in the parking lot of the business until morning to unload the "Siamese Twins". What was funny was upon waking up Monday, there were two more trucks with the exact same load waiting with us. It was a quick unload as we had unchained and unhooked the trailer Sunday, so after hooking the trailer back up we were headed down the road only to run into yet another truck with two more Genies going to the same business!

We were given an assignment to go into Quebec, Canada to the small town of Princeville, where a Princecraft Boat manufacturer is located. It is located north east of Montreal. Six hours later and we arrived to get loaded with one pontoon boat and three deck boats to be delivered to Minnesota. We managed to make it to a Flying J truck stop just west of Montreal for the night.  
We awoke the next morning to some light snow falling. Snow flurries continued on and off throughout the day as we made our way westward. We stopped at a Tim Horton's, (these eateries are as prevalent as McDonald's throughout Canada), for some hot chili. We discovered this tasty dish the last time we were in Saskatoon.
  
As we approached Kitchener, I made sure I was ready with the camera to take a photo of Shantz Hill Road. One day we will stop and check out the town where Craig's ancestors settled many years ago. Which reminds me while we were going through North Dakota on our way to New York, we saw a large building with "Enzminger Builders" on it. We will have to investigate that as well to see if it is owned by some of my relatives!

So it seems we never have been lucky going through Customs. The irony is that on our way into Canada, the Customs Officer didn't even as much look at us or take our passports and just waved us in, that was not the case on our return back into the USA. All of our paperwork was in order according to the officer at the checkpoint, but he casually mentioned that we needed to drop off the declarations for the boat trailers to another building. Well, one hour later we were finally on our way.

Wednesday night finds us in Black River Falls, Wisconsin with a short drive into Minnesota in the morning to drop off the boats. Then guess where we will be headed? Into New York Mills, Minnesota for another load of boats and straight into Canada again. Looks like we will be spending Christmas for the first time in a foreign country, not that Canada is so foreign. I'll be checking back with you in a few days to let you know how our White Christmas is coming along.
