+14 C days don't add value to my lift ticket!

I remember Piney, that's where I crossed the border, too, last

Only problem there is that they get bored, and decided to do the
full search with me, and with their dog, too. So while I was
waiting for him to go through all my stuff, the American guy came
over to ask me questions about the plane, as I guess he was
bored, too. Don't know about the flight plan, as I did one, but
you definitely still need to give the customs people their
advance notice, just as anywhere else. But you shouldn't need the
transponder.

Well, as long as you warned Garry about not letting Bob sleep in
past noon, they should get to Calgary by Sunday.

Delivered FOKM to Brampton for 8:45 this morning...
after taking off in
about 4" of snow from our grass runway. Skirted a
pretty good snow squall
off the lake..flying almost to Barrie before I could
turn and head for
Brampton.

Once I got her to Brampton Bob did a circuit to get
used to her again and
then Garry and Bob loaded up their gear, filled her
full of fuel and blasted
off shortly before noon..... with hopes that the
squall I skirted had headed
back out over the lake thanks to the wind switching to
out of the south.

Their hope was to reach at least Gore Bay on
Manitoulin Island today.
Tomorrow they hope to hop the border, without a
transponder, clear customs
on Drummond Island and then work their way West and
probably cross back into
Canada at Piney Manitoba where you don't need a flight
plan to cross the
border (runway 1/2 US..1/2 Canada)

Expect it will be a nerve wracking trip for them at
this time of the year.
Was -11 here this morning and about 1*C when they
headed out at noon. Lake
is wide open and any breeze makes it look like
Christmas around here. Once
clear of Superior they should be okay...but a lot of
changing weather is
ahead of them over the next week or so... trying to
get to Springbank in
Calgary.

Will update if I hear from them...but figure it might
just be Garry filling
us in once they arrive in Alberta.

Cheers,
Wayne

Hey, we keep the snow up in the mountains where it belongs.
Whistler is supposed to open in 2 weeks, and at this time of
year, they can get a huge pile of snow very quickly. Down here we
just get out our umbrellas...

Oh ya! I told Garry to put in an extra early wake up call for Bob each

When it's getting dark at 4:30 ....no way he's going to get away with
doing
that!

It is possible to cross the border without a transponder. They don't like it
but if you persist and ask for the shift manager they will give you
permission, eventually. Right Walter?

Both ways although I did have a harder time with customs getting back home to
the US without a passport or birth certificate than I did getting into
Canada with a curtesy pass from Canadian customs. I would recommend not forgetting
your proof of citizenship.

Not sure what all they have with them and Bob had it in his mind to team up
with someone crossing with a transponder (but would think other traffic
might be slim this time of year..considering the weather). Sure we'll get
the whole report of how it went in a week or so!

Yes, the main concern with border crossing is that they know
about you, and with no transponder, they want you in contact with
a controller as you cross. At least that's how it works out here.

Well the FOKM Ramblers finally made High River, Alberta, last night after
sitting out some weather for the first couple days (and apparently food
poisoning on their second night)!

Garry and Bob will give us the full report.... when Garry has settled in and
Bob makes it back to Brampton (in a big pressurized tin can).
