You NW guys are crazy when it comes to recruiting new members :P

I hope you have a great trip Carson :)

I think in the last 24 hours we have tried to recruit 3 people. :)

He should be in Mass by now.

Its too bad that he wasent up for crossing the border cause i'm directly on the route back west - just in canada.  Oh and from what i remember, Cincinatti is a hole - glad hes outta there now

Getting into Canada is easy, getting back into the US is a pain. Here in Washington, the border guards all assume you have a bag of BC's finest stashed somewhere in the car. Probably not the same issue in the east, but they will assume an 18 year old driving alone = smuggler.

Well, with the yellow they would ask him a lot of questions before deciding which way to go. If he was driving a 240 or 740, they would tag him for a vehicle search right away. I am sure that is the reason that Noah and Ben both got searched the last time we were in Canada. US border guards are profiling!

Back on topic: Any word if Carson has met his new car yet? :)

I am at Nick's house, the goose has landed.

The yellow is better then I expected it to be :)

I am going to crash the night here, then drive out in the morning...
