A quick update: No pics...
Canada is on fire. And Hoyle and I never made it into the burning country. Apparently there is a G20 Summit in Toronto, which is the very city we were aiming to visit. Apparently the country is on high alert and planning on battling a horde of protestors and potential peace terrorists. Apparently, Hoyle and I have lived a pretty eclectic and off-beat life style, out of the mainstream and with enough random adventures in cities and countries all over the world to make us look suspicious to Canadian authorities. Add a sordid past with a confusing criminal record sort of deal, long road trip beards, tons of miss-matched camping gear, a pseudonym website and very, very dirty boys and you’ve got every reason, as a Canadian federal customs agent, to pull those boys inside the interrogation room, separate them, berate them with irate questions, strip search their car, threaten one of them with arrest and eventually turn them around and send them back to America. On top of that, one of us is banned from ever returning to Canada for the rest of his life. Forever.
Basically, all this means is that instead of going over the Great Lakes and entering Minnesota from the north, we are now going under the Great Lakes through Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan. Oh yeah, and also that Canada is off limits (forever) to one of the members of the Hoyle,Tanner team. Cedars, however, was given complete clearance. The Canadians welcome him through and through.

So the question is, do you go Under Lake Michigan or over it....

Dudley Do-Right must have been working the borders that day. They strip-searched my Jeep when I drove through with my grandmother in '05. Silly...
ReplyDeleteit would be my guess that tanner is forever banned from canada. perhaps they did research and became aware of a certain mishap at the baton rouge state capital, circa 2005 or 6?
ReplyDeleteor does it have something to do with your blue goose affiliation?
afterall, your cause IS no man's.
