[pct-l] Border , have a copy of your birth Cert.

[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ]
 Thru-hikers should send away for proper re-entry paper work. Also have a
copy of your birth cert. and a photo Id. This makes it easy. Last month we
drove back from Vancover B.C. and border guard wanted a copy of my Birth
Cert. All I had was my drivers license and he said ," BUT next time". You can
make do with a photo ID ,but if border guard is having a bad day, I don't
want to be pulled into some back room for a cavity search and wait 2 hours
for your ID to clear.
   Last year we cruised ( Walked) through small border crossing near Waterton
Lake back to East Glacier with no trouble mostly because the guard grew up 20
miles from PA Jeff and it was like old home week for the guard. Meanwhile
three hippy gals were having their entire van redecorated by the border
guards as anything they owned were pitched in the grass and they were taking
turns heading for a backroom for further searching. ( Not the way to end a
hike)
