Day 2 (August 23, 2009) – Crossing into Canada

Our mini caravan got on the road shortly after 8 am as planned. We had a very easy drive north on I-87, stopping just before the border to top off with fuel. We drove on to Canadian Customs. We spent about ½ hour in line until it was our turn. Despite our worried anticipation, we spent about 2 minutes answering the typical questions, and then on we went. We stopped at the Tourist Information Center and picked up about 10 lbs of brochures and booklets…our evening reading. We arrived at Camping Tropicana in
Granby, QC about 3 PM. The sites are grassy and level with 30/50 amp service. Our drive was 265 miles.

After resting a bit we hopped in Harvey’s car to visit one of the many farm stands we saw on the way in. Great apples (just picked), new potatoes, strawberries, sugar and cream corn on the cob made its way home with us. We did eat well. The corn is outstanding! Guess what? No digital TV channels in Montreal! I guess the rumors about Canada not changing to digital TV are true. We’ll see.
