T&T: Alameda to Vancouver BC - Passport needed?

See: http://travel.state.gov/travel/cbpmc/cbpmc_2223.html

"The U.S. Departments of State and Homeland Security announced Friday, June 
8, that U.S. citizens traveling to Canada, Mexico, Bermuda or countries in 
the Caribbean region, who have applied for, but not yet received passports, 
can re-enter the United States by air. This accommodation will expire at the 
end of September, and beginning October 1, 2007, all U.S. Citizens traveling 
outside the United States will be required to present a valid passport to 
enter and depart from the United States. This accommodation does not mean 
that Americans are exempt from meeting the entry requirements of Canada, 
Mexico, Bermuda or countries in the Caribbean region, some of which require 
a passport, certified birth certificate, or other evidence of citizenship 
for entry. "

It doesn't say anything about coming back into the country by car, the 
exemption is only for air travel back into the country. I'd say you need 
one. You also need to check the entry requirements into Canada via boat. 
Note even this exemption expires at the end of the month, so unless you're 
going very quickly,  you need that passport.
