<p>Travelwise if you are crossing the border is the busy season you should listen to radio AM 1130 to hear border reports every 10 monites. Peace Arch is the border crossing into Canada which you come to if you stay on I5.</p>
<p>If you hear reports of horrid waits (2-3 hours!) then listen for the “pacific highway truck crossing,” if it’s good, simply take exit #275 from I5 directly to the truck crossing. Tourists generally don’t know about it :p</p>
<p>If things are really bad at the truck crossing and “Aldergrove” is good, then exit #275, turn right on H street, go about 15 minutes until the road dead ends and turn left. You’ll be at a tiny border crossing. Go through and take the first left onto “0” street and go 15 minutes and you’ll be back to the truck crossing, but on the Canadian side.</p>
<p>Also, sincew 911 they can be pretty intense at the border- no jokews, no bad attitudes, cover your tatoos & piercings, if you’re smart and try not to look too wild and rowdy.</p>
<p>They’ll want to know where you’re going and why and how long you’ll be there.</p>
<p>Yup, we do this all the time, like every week! ;)</p>
