Gents,
Important update.I had been told that an Enhanced Drivers License (available only in a few states),Passport or Passport Card is needed for entrance back into US from Canada this year.This is FACT I just spoke to Vermont border and confirmed it as of JUNE 1st 2009' !!
Passport Card is $45.00 (not valid for interantional travel) and same procedure to get it as Passport.We need to get this done ASAP,including me.
P.S. Roster of BOTH weeks Bear Quest will be posted within a few days.
Thanks
Tom

Do it now if you havent took me 7 weeks to get mine. I think you can get it done express but your gonna pay for it
Yes, you can get it "express" but there is plenty of time to get one. Pictures for it can be taken at CVS, AAA etc. and I believe they have the applications there as well. If you have renewed your license in MA recently they are the enhanced, but check with your MV board.
Just Tommy's posting about this trip is getting me excited! Can't wait! :jumper:
:wavey:
Passport....check...or should I say oui! :jumper: :jumper:
TTT
FYI-You can also get a passport at the Post Office. It only took my wife 4-weeks last year about this time.
Got it, done deal. One of those things my rich uncle requires me to have! :goldtooth:

if you have or are getting a passport you can get the passcard for another 20 bucks. its the same size as a c-card and will always be in your wallet.
But as stated above the passcard can only be used at landborders if you go by plane or boat you need a passport for sure.
Let's make sure we get this right... passport for Quebec, Green Card for Mexico and passcard for Montana? bw
Don't sleep on the passports fellows...I stood in line at the post office behind people getting them for summer vacations. I also have a friend that works at the Govt Printing Office and they do these and the people that work there are planning vacations too...
Barry, you don't need a passport! Remember last year? The border guard knew who Barry was (I didn't :D ) and let us across without a question: "Barry Wensel?! Barry Wensel?! I know Barry Wensel! I'm a bowhunter too!" We need to keep all the illegal stuff in my truck! :bigsmyl:

Good Boy Matty !!!!!
Barry, them Texans weren't takin' any chances...we had to save him from numerous lynchin' on our trips to town... :rolleyes: :readit:
I don't need no stinken paper work to get back to the US.Do I look like I'am not from around here ??? bd
:bigsmyl:
I was told you could used an enhanced drivers license from the DMV as well. That is what i was going to get! I will check to be sure! Shawn
Yes you can use Enhanced drivers license the gent at the border in Derby,VT where we cross told me Enhanced Drivers License(not available in all states as far as I know),Passport or Passport card.
TTT
That is what I thought, they are easier to get as well. Shawn
The Enhanced Drivers License is NOT available in Mass from what registry I visited today in Pittsfield,Ma told me !!
TTT
Ehanced DL is only available in 3 states I believe so if your state is one than yes that will work.
BUT everyone else will need a passport or passcard to enter Canada unless your 16yrs old or younger.
good luck all!
yap Washington Vermont and I believe NY are the only 3 with EDL's right now.
I went yesterday to apply for my EDL.I did not have the actual copy of my birth certi.I only had the hospital copy and that will not work for a birth certificate.I gotta get that monday and then go back to the DMV for the EDL and hope its PDQ...bd
TTT
OK I got the copy of my birth certificate yesterday and go today for the EDL.If you do not have a PP or EDL you should maybe get on it right away.It can take a few weeks to get the EDL sent to you.bd
I experienced the same deal last year when I got my passport Bowdoc. Went to the PO with the original of my birth certificate- issued by the hospital- and ended up driving to the State Capital to obtain a State issued document- 3.5 hour trip and it took about five minutes to get the certificate. Had a passport in around 2 1/2-3 weeks. BTW- watch your mailbox Diablo. See everybody real soon.....GY
I did not get the EDL this morning because I gotta pick Russo at seatac at 11:15.So I had to lieve and go back later today I hope.
Getting back to the BC's it took 3 minutes to get it and cost $20.00 for the BC and $12.00 for parking.bd
Today I had a nasty job to do,cut up about 90# of some of the rankest stuff I ever had to handle.Ocean fish in 55 gallon drum,had to tip it on its side and real in as far as I could to grab a piece and then cut it up into pieces with meat clever and then drop into 5 gallon buckets and add water.
BUT you know what for some reason I enjoy it !!!
1st batch of Diablo's fish chowder of the year(aka Stink Bait) needs to sit in the sun for about a month.....Batch # 2 comin up soon.
wow Tom I sure wish I were there to help you out with that job.....not.bd
Tom,
It warms my heart to think of you doing that for us! :biglaugh:
Tom really does put his heart and soul into seeing everyone has what they need for a great time. This is my fourth year running and on every trip everyone has had a blast AND had shot opportunities! That to me is proof that Tommy and his crew work hard AND know what they're doing! I can't wait to get up there again!
It is for the love of the game That i do it !!!!
I hope all you boys are practicing diligently.
it won't be long you hoser.bd
Tom, You're a gentleman and a scholar.. and hopefully a darn good stink bait cooker!
Thanks for the effort, looking forward to the adventure!
