GL: Retrograde loop through Canada

[Elliott Bray]

We are planning to resume the 'Yo-Yo' ( you know, where you throw it down,
let it spin for awhile, and then snap it back up) back through Canada next
year. In 2005 we crossed Lake Ont. from Oswego to Kingston and then the T-S,
G.B. N.C., etc. until we got to Mississippi. Tentative plans are to reverse
the route until we get to Kingston and then do the Rideau before heading
back into the Erie Canal (we are too tall for Lake Champlain). I assume I
would travel down the St. Law. until the Ottawa River and then up to Ottawa
and the Rideau Canal.

My question has to do with Customs.
If I were coming from Oswego I would stay on the US side with visits to
Clayton, the Thousand Islands,  and other sights along the St. Lawrence
until clearing into Canada somewhere.

[] Would I just clear Customs in and out (and maybe in and out again) if I
wanted to do the same coming from Kingston?

I think an I-68 would make the process easier but it looks like I have to be
along the Canadian border to to find an Immigration Office that issues one.
Sure would be eaiser to stop at an international airport in Texas and prove
who I am.


TIA
