	I was thinking of driving into Alaska for a few days after the river trip, but face the same hurdles to get back into CA on the return - so will likely not do the side trip to Alaska. Biden's not opening the border refers to non USAers I think - don't care, I could live up there and be just fine.

	Just a heads up that the union that represents the workers of the Canadian Border Services Agency is in a ‘strike’ position now, so those of you crossing next week might want to budget extra time at the border, on top of the extra time at the border that you’ve already budgeted for! They are essential workers, so they can’t actually walk off the job, but they can ‘work to rule’ and slow things down. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

The US pressured Canada for months and months to open the borders. Everyone expected reciprocal action by the US right after. Nope. US border still closed. No matter. I’ll be in Quetico this time next week. Maybe I will run into some of you!

	A news report this morning put border crossing time at International Falls at an average of 7 hours yesterday. I had also read somewhere that Canadian staffers are conducting "work slowdowns" as a form of protest since they cannot legally walk off the job. Wishing you good luck & much patience if you are headed north. Jimbo

	I just read there has been a negotiated settlement to the work slowdown. That should help matters. Lines were sometimes 6 miles long yesterday. I've only experienced such a line at I-Falls once. It was brutal. Jimbo :
