Crossing into Saskatchewan from ND
We are headed to Banff, Jasper this fall. We will stop in Jamestown, ND then head to Regina, SK. Reports have going thru customs at Portal and the drive on highways 39 & 47 is brutal. Maybe go up ...

We crossed at Portal on our first trip north. Don't recall anything unpleasant at the border but we did have to exit the vehicle & go inside. No search. Border crossings, both ways, are inconsistant. It is a personal thing. Your demeanor to the officer. His/her mood of the day. Maybe the vehicle before you set them off for some reason.
That said, sometimes they can be fun. Returning from a day trip to Skagway, AK into Canada I caught the Canadian officer in the middle of his dinner & away from the window. That brought a good natured but loud harassment from me to get out & do his job. No time to eat. We breezed right through in minutes with a smiling officer behind us.
From there we did whatever it is direct to Edmonton & I do recall some far from smooth roads along the way.
