The  adventure is now in full swing.  Elizabeth and I picked up the '86 on  
Saturday, then headed for the border.  I didn't want to put my TN plate  on it 
until after passing by the feds (because it's not exactly valid for this  
car).  A brief stop brought attention to the plateless car from a young  RCMP.  
His check of the VIN revealed a clean history (whew!), and the  paperwork 
satisfied him.  We had a nice chat thereafter.

At the  border, it took a while to find an agent who knew anything about what 
we were  trying to do, or even cared.  We dulled a pair of scissors on the 
red  tape, but eventually we got the stamp.  The weird part is that none of  the 
feds ever looked at the car we brought in.  Every other vehicle  crossing 
into the US got a strip-search, but we could've had a pinto packed  with uranium.

Heavy traffic back to Seattle meant that we'd get little  else done on 
Saturday.  We got an early start this morning to head east  near Mt Rainier, then 
down into Oregon and Idaho, where we stopped  tonight.  Looks like we'll be in 
CO tomorrow evening.  Below are  some pictures so far, but the lousy camera and 
lack of decent editing s/w is  cramping my style.

Stay  tuned!
