Going to CA was a cautionary excursion. The officer asked many questions including ones you'd…read moreexpect, like if you have family there or if you're bringing drugs or weapons, as well as surprising ones, like how much money you have in your bank account. I answered everything honestly, and after what felt like forever (prob really just 5 mins), she finally let me through. It's understandable that the interrogation may be intended to make you feel like you're being treated like a criminal. It's for the safety of two nations. Thankfully they didn't put me through a deeper investigation. I was nervous, but I made it. Returning back to WA as a US citizen is a simpler matter. The only issue I encountered on my return trip was the unexplained traffic backup. We all sat in our motionless cars for about 20-30min, clueless why border patrol didn't seem to be processing people through. Finally, the lines start moving again and we made it back to USA. As symbolized by the Peace Arch, may CA and the US remain in peace for decades to come.

The Agents were suspect at first but really cool after I told them what happened. They asked the necessary questions, gave some directions and I was on my way. Not the typical time, circumstances or experience entering a country but it was the easiest and quickest border crossing I've had to date. Now, what led to me getting there, that's another topic not for this post. LOL. Thanks fellas

I hope they read and enjoy my stories...

We took a nice spring break road trip up from Seattle to Vancouver and plotted our border crossing here - it's a lovely route with lots to see and do and this was an excellent spot to stretch our legs. The dramatic 67-foot tall, brilliant white arch spans across the border into both countries and shines like a beacon against the grasses and ocean. It's beautiful and we had fun making a fuss of my son walking over for the first time haha! The most astounding thing was finding a neighborhood that seemed to be right on the border line haha! We had to google if they're considered Canadian or American lol!! Turns out they're technically on the Canada side - but was an interesting rabbit hole to explore. Customs/immigration sits just beyond the arch and is well marked. The short lines moved fast but this was a weekday - based on my reading it can have some very long wait times so we got lucky. The park has lots of paved parking, shelters and seats, but I didn't see any bathrooms anywhere. You can access the park from either country and its entrances are well marked.

Some of the questions included: Do you have a gun? Are you bringing any fruits and vegetables? What are you leaving in Canada? How long will you be in Canada? Where are you going? We passed through on a Saturday morning around 11am. It was an uneventful experience!

Canadian officials turned me over to CBP in Blain Washington. For reasons unknown a CBP officer removed all my clothes and proceeded to re dress me minus the warm clothing.(long underwear, long and short sleeve shirts and removed the sox on my feet before putting my shoes back on) as I was being released, a CBP agent told me to "try and stay warm" as he sent me out the door on foot to walk 5 miles to a hotel in freezing temperatures. Severe hypothermia set in fast as I walked past snow drifts wearing just a sweater..sweat pants and no socks on my feet. I ended up having to call 911 for assistance. I have been trying to obtain an attorney since this incident but it seems my phone is hacked..making it extremely hard to keep in touch with anyone, might I add that this happened in the middle of the COVID Pandemic.(I was probably the only person crossing the closed border at this time) which makes me think that the military would have seen this incident. I am currently still trying to obtain legal counsel on this matter. I wonder how other people are treated by CBP.
