Cache Creek BC
The Wi-Fi is working so well at this RV park I thought I would post more pictures. Yesterday we had to go through Canadian customs. Being as honest as I could I told the officer we had 6 bottles of wine, no beer or other alcohol, no firearms, but I had a box of 38 caliber bullets that I had forgotten to remove after our last trip. He filled out a slip and told us to park the RV and go inside the building. Inside we talked to a female officer and repeated the story about the bullets. She asked me what other guns I had and I gave her a list. She asked where they were and I told her at home. She said she didn't believe that there was no gun in our RV and that if I told her at that time where it was we could work it out but if they searched the RV and found one I would be arrested. I told her go ahead and search ( but I was pretty nervous because I wasn't sure what was in the storage bins underneath). I took about 30 minutes for the search. They didn't find anything and I guess she was embarresed because another officer gave us our passports AND the box of bullets back. Pat ask them to keep the bullets as we would be going thru customs two or three times on the tour and didn't want the hassle but they said no. The good news was they were so focused on the bullets that we didn't get hasseled about the wine.

Wow this is like a "Spy" novel!!! Can't wait for the next installment. I figured you'd have at least the 9mm for protection (Bears) but I guess other countries frown on fire arms, I'll bet Pat's blood pressure soared when they searched the RV and you did a little puckering yourself? This is great stuff keep it coming for the rest of us with no life. I'm using Toni's account with google to access this Blog. Neil
