Traveling in Canada

[Kenny2]

Passport required?

Here is what I found,
"Following a consultation period, they will be implemented in three phases:

* As of Dec. 31, 2005: All travellers must show their passport when stopping over in the U.S. during air and sea travel to or from the Caribbean, Bermuda, Central and South America.
* As of Dec. 31, 2006: The rules take effect for all air and sea travel to or from Mexico and Canada.
* As of Dec. 31, 2007: The rule applies to all remaining travel, including land crossings. "

...ya, that's what I said to Mary..."don't take the cucumbers".... I wonder though, is that going both ways? -Bob

Well, truth be told, the cucumbers are legal, but embarassing to explain for solo female riders.
The citrus fruit is legally a no-no from Canada re-entering the USA.

A friend and I are considering riding from the Adirondacks to Temagami, Ontario, where I went to canoe camp many, many years ago. I wondered if you could tell me what 417/17 is like from Ottawa up through North Bay? Those many years ago I took the train from Boston and my memory is of beautiful mixed wood scenery. Any other ideas on such a trip would certainly be welcomed.

Ah, or you could join me here in Maine for a snootfull of Screech, as I have my own bottle for medicinal purposes...

... dang that's nice of you! When we come down we're trying to touch base with our 78 year old bike buddy Mr. Harley Hopkins (...and yes there is a story about why his real name is Harley) down near East Port and then we do visit my family down in Portland. The road to Vermont clearly meanders through Maine. So. where's that other (aka "here") stop?

Perfect. You're right....no excuse at all. So, do we just show your picture around town to find you? That could be fun. -Bob

Here's a link that will give you an idea of some of the best routes through Ontario. Perhaps you can sample a few on en route from Michigan.
