| - | Many years ago a friend and I took little Ryler and Allie for a few days of camping on Ross. (They were 6 & 7 years old.) We packed everything in my Grumman canoe. Everyday the winds came up from the south. We saw marvelous things and played in wonderland. But the rule was: be off the water by noon. We were slow once when we made the run out to Cat island and I was afraid of losing my babies in the drink. We saw several boats including a kayaker getting a whoopin out there in the afternoon blow. I had heard that camp robber bears can be a problem, so I snuck bear spray across the border. We only saw one in our car on the way out. The squrrels messed with us more, and the deer. | + | Many years ago a friend and I took little Ryler and Allie for a few days of camping on Ross. (They were 6 & 7 years old.)

| - | Ross is a neat place since you're in the U.S. but can't get there from here. I've never heard of the wind coming from the North. You guys should have had it perfect. I bet this really messed up the hangliders up near Hope. | + | Ross is a neat place since you're in the U.S. but can't get there from here. I've never heard of the wind coming from the North.

| - | Regards the border: old timers around here know that you do not mess around. They do not need any reason to take your possessions apart or to detain you. It's like the airport - don't kid around. It's best if only one person speaks while being interviewed in the car. Be direct and clear. Even when they relax, they are wrapped pretty tight. The border patrol folks see some pretty heavy shit in their workday. Like a buddy from Oregon said when his wife decided to joke around from the back seat, "I got a new religion right away." | + | Regards the border: old timers around here know that you do not mess around.
