Made it to Canada. Yea!

It was a pretty grueling day, due primarily to heavy Friday traffic in Portland and Seattle.

The border crossing is a piece of cake - 3 minute wait, friendly agent and on my way. It's always great spending time with my niece and her husband. Looking forward to some Canada sightseeing and local activities before heading out for Calgary on Sunday.

As referenced above, had a great time with bkc, seeing his great project and comparing swap notes. One of the best things about road trips is meeting up with forum members and putting the face with the posts.

The car continues to run really well. Had another good mileage day - 35.1 mpg. I'm not sure what's different that's producing the high numbers, but my suspicion is speed. On my east-west trips I've been going the limit 70, 75 and sometimes 80 (west Texas) and on this trip it's been pretty much all 65... also winds, this trip has been pretty much calm with what winds there were were pretty much quartering on the tail.

One thing of note was I've yet to see an accident on this trip.
