realizing the ancient "are you a citizen, where were you born?" entry to the states is a thing of the past, what is currently required to get back into the states? is a passport required for U.S. citizens, or will a drivers license and birth certificate do the job? whistler in august. got the primo condo in the old village.

Bring your passport. I was up there almosst 2 years ago now and when we came back across the border, we were asked for our passports. Course we didn't have them and were told that next time be sure and bring it. It might save you some time if you have one.
Cheers, Elliot
US drivers license and a birth Cert work now, a Passport works pretty well too so they can read the bar codes and see if you are "Wanted"
Don't travel with a friend who speaks English with a heavy French accent. I did when I went skiing and we ended up staying awhile at the US Border while the idiots inside searched the car lookin for stuff and asking stupid questions like:
What were you doing in Canada?
Skiing, Sir.
Why?
Ah, for a skiing vacation.
Is this your skiing equipement?
Yes, Sir.
Why did you go skiing in Canada?
There is no snow in the Seattle area. Sir
on and on it went for 45 minutes.
"where were you born?"
None of your business
"Are you an American citizen?"
Are you writing a book?
"Are you bringing anything back?"
Back from where?
"from Canada"
No, I'm from the US, do you speak english or espaniol?
"Do you have a problem, sir?"
A problem with what?
"a problem with this interogation?"
Am I under arrest?
"No, I'm just asking some simple questions"
Simple is as simple does.
"What do you mean?"
What do you mean 'what do you mean'?
"would you open the trunk?"
Which trunk?
"The trunk of the car, sir."
Which one?
"This car right here!"...
Dave.....That is hilarious....The paranoia is increasing every day!

A drivers license and birth certificate works for going both ways across.
Don't bring a bloody chainsaw with you or they might keep you for a couple of hours.

Bring your passport. It may not be needed yet, but it will not hurt.

I don't think the fuel will be a problem going into Canada. Just no guns, drugs, fireworks etc.... Canada is still a great place to visit, where the people aren't paranoid.
Coming back might be a problem thou. Check the list.
like taking drugs (pot) INTO canada is an issue.
k
The race is July 29th-31st, we will be traveling up on the 28th, and back on Aug 1st.
We have loads of those 5 gal fuel jugs, they are made to hold fuel so I suppose there ok?
Funny stuff!!
Forgot my passport twice on business trips to Canada: no problem comming or going. That was a few years ago. Anything different now?
On the southern border (Mexico), there always seemed to be more antics with the US border guys.
