New Update: We are now in Alberta! We crossed from MT to Alberta at Coutts today. We had all our papers ready but the border patrol officer only asked us very cursory questions and waved us through! I think having 3 cute 6 yr Olds in the back seat helped lol.
We will visit family and friends, then proceed to Jasper, Banff, and Kootenay National Parks. Then instead of proceeding west all the way to Vancouver, we wil head back to the USA via Okanagan and Osoyoos.
We will then traverse Washington state on Hwy 20. We will spend a couple days in Winthrop and inside the Northern Cascades, before ending up in Bellingham where we will store the trailer.
Then we will head on up to Vancouver to stay with family for 3 weeks. We will then drive back to Bellingham and pick up our trailer for our return trip home.
I figure so long as we cross back into the USA before our temp registration expires, we should be ok.
Btw in the 1500 mi I've driven on the 1st part of this trip, no highway patrol or sheriff has even given us a 2nd look. I've stuck to all posted speed limits and stayed in the proper lane at all times.
