A funny thing happen to me on the way to the forum..... after planning this trip for two years, buying bikes, riding and camping gear, outfitting the bikes and getting Chris and Anne on board 1 1/2 years ago, my plans were thwarted by a carrier criminal who has been using my identity since the 80's. Confused and dazed as I've been to a few other countries pre 911 with no problems, we were politely escorted back to the US after being questioned for 1 1/2 hours. Upon entering the US I was mobilized from the others and grilled for a few more hours. As border patrol were gathering in numbers to haul me off to SingSing they lastly digitally fingerprinted me and Wallah...It was really me. Even I was a bit suppressed at this point. Needless to say, I can,t return to Canada without proof from our FBI and the Canadian consulate that I am indeed me.
At this point, Chris and Anne have resumed their trip now to Anchorage AK and we wish them a safe journey. We are roaming around the western US on back roads.
Sometime life throw's you a curve ball and you just have to go with it.
