    Not enough room to park a rig at Casino Windsor, or Downtown DTW.

    On the way home for Thanksgiving we um. Ran into a situation that ended up closing the border. I blogged the whole story if anyone wants to read it.

    I remember a couple of months back there was a bomb scare at Sarnia that really screwed things up . http://lfpress.ca/newsstand/News/Local/2008/08/07/6376821.html . I crossed the bridge 3 a.m. the next morning and there were a lot of trucks parked on the side where drivers ran out of hours in the backup . Michigan DOT are constantly checking trucks as they leave U.S. customs .
