Garden Bay,BC;
I've been in BC Coastal region only a few times. Is that inland lakes or coastal town? Ive been absent 5 years in Canada, its my GSA1200 and my turn again. This bike has never been North of border. Love those border patrol guys, always ask me how much money Im going to spend while in Canada? Who knows, I usually say. Never been inspected for how much cash I may carry, lol. Anyhow, the question and answer sessions at border crossings are sometimes laughable, keeping it inside of course. Don't want to laugh at any questions. I have passed all my crossings, usually very quick. Passports nowadays are the norm and mine still not used since I got it about 5 years ago. My first Passport stamp WILL be Canada, I want them to stamp it. Salem Rally is close enough to Canada, I imagine MANY will be crossing USA/Canada border on BMWs this year. For those wishing to see Canada from the South, VICTORIA is a hot spot for the tourist, as much of BC. Vancouver Island is too cool to miss. A DAY RIDE from Salem if you get with it. Trouble is Washington is in middle of you(Salem) and Canada and too much to see there too!!! The crossing at Port Angeles to Victoria is a favorite, COHO Ferry. I forgot fare. Its worth it! About a two hour ride across on water. Don't forget the Empress Hotel and HIGH TEA. Randy
