Since I went through the hassle of getting through the Canadian border, I might as well take a hike and enjoy what the area has to offer. In the morning, Kim and I decided to take a short walk to visit bridal vail falls in Bridal Falls, BC. It was a nice, easy walk through the forest and as usual, I stopped to snap pictures along the way. After I crossed the border, the drive into Bridal Falls was beautiful. It was a bit overcast when I arrived yesterday but today, it was beautiful.
As I took a few photographs, Kim was behind me snapping away towards me taking pictures (I didn't know it at the time) and this one with me taking a picture of the waterfall is courtesy of her.
After the walk and a nice lunch, Max and I headed on our way. We drove for hours on route 3 headed East. The road winds North And South as it makes it way through the country. I decided it was time to head back to the USA for now.
I was a little anxious to cross the border again since we had so much trouble on our way into Canada. This time, I was able to say that I met with friends and not some strangers I met on the internet. For some reason, that made a lot more sense to them. After just a few questions, I was set on my way! Yeah, FREEEE.....I was a bit relieved to be back in the USA. Even though it was a long day of driving, I felt a sense of pride as I drove on the highway. As I turned on a smaller road into a forest, I passed a car going 20 MPH in a 50MPH zone on a two lane stretch of road. As I passed, the nice gentleman decided to put his arm out the window to flip me off.
Ahhh, home sweet home in the USA.

I grew-up in a border town in northern Maine. In those days it was nothing to cross over the border a dozen times in an evening with barely a look . . . despite the fact that we were underage and always had a trunk full of illegal Canadian alcohol. :)
Of course, it paid to have a Dad that worked for Customs . . . nothing like a little name dropping!! :)
Glad you had a great time! Great pictures by the way.

So happy to read that you had a hassle-free re-entry into the U.S. Whew! Homeland security must have taken the day off.
