I just got into Anchorage late last night!
The past 2 1/2 days I had no cell phone coverage and got to Edmonton, Alberta Saturday night. Then I hit lots of snow and slippery roads most of the day Sunday and ended the day in Ft. Nelson, B.C. I got an early start Monday and hit -37F temps till about noon. I finished the day at Haines junction, Yukon Territory.

When I got to the Canada border I was in for a big shocker! Here I am a clean cut mid 50's guy in a new car that I jst washed about 60 miles earlier and was asked to go inside by the woman at the window at customs. After entering and going to the assigned counter I was asked literally 100 questions and asked to have a seat while they did a security check. about 20 minutes later I was then TOLD AND NOT ASKED NICELY to give them my keys and follow them to the inspection area. There they asked my to have a seat in a plexiglass booth where I saw my car driven inside the inspection area and stripped of its contents, all boxes eptied, the wheels, spare tire and air cleaner removed from my car, my computer taken to a desk where they inspected it. They also took all my papers, photographs and slides and looked at them all one by one. This whole process took about 4 hours while I was locked inside a booth watching. They haphazardly replaced the boxes and packed my car. I saw some stuff get crunched when the right rear door was closed. So when they told my I was clear to enter Canada I went and opened the door and found items of a dear personal nature broken!!! I asked about it and was told to get in my car and leave and have a good day, eh.
