Yep, there is a cruise on Saturday night. I won't be at the cruise, but i'll be at the show on Sunday. I'd like to get everyone here together for a Samba group photo in front of the clutch eater at noon.
There's gotta be more going than just two of us?? _________________ OG JHC

im planning on being there for the show, but not the cruise. ill be in a 61 double door. not sure if im gonna swap or not. ive heard the border patrol wants you to pay 10 percent tax on everything you plan on selling. i dont like the idea of paying tax on shit i that might not even sell. anybody know if the tax deal is just a myth? |

I go across the border a few times a summer, and the first time I ever brought the Bus across was last June for this show. I have never had a problem going into Canada before, couple of quesitons and I Was on my way. Well last June when I pulled up to the border in the Bus, I got a whole different line of questioning and I was then searched by the Canadian Border Patrol. No big deal really, I didn't have anything to hide, but I just found it odd that I have been across so many times without a problem, but I show up in my Bus and I get searched. One of the questions they asked was wether or not I had anything for resale in Canada. I wasn't swapping so I said no, but there must be a reason they asked me that question. We'll see what happens this year. |

yeah, i never have trouble going into canada, but this is the first time im taking stuff to sell. its always coming back into the U.S. that i run into trouble. ive been pulled into the customs garage and searched twice out of the last 5 times i crossed the border. i love being treated like a criminal when i come back to my own country. |

I usually don't have a problem coming back in, a very good friend of mine's wife works for customs at Niagara Falls so if anything goes wrong I can always ask for her. I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon for the campground, gonna camp out all weekend at the Campark Resorts on Lundy's Lane. Camped there last year, it was a nice campground and close to the show and all the tourist crap at the falls. Anyone know what time the gathering is on Saturday night? Is it still at Candian Tire? |

I'll be going, the June Jitterbug is one of my favourite shows. Bitter sweet though, last year I got rear ended on the way to a cruise night as I left the show.
Clutch eater at noon! Hope to see everyone there. |
