crossing the boarder

[Benzo]

anyone have an idea on what's the best time in the week to do cross border shopping? I'm thinking of going down to North Dakota but not to sure when the best time to go is..

I donno I cant imagine border crossings around there being terribly busy, so I'm thinking anytime.

I'm not sure what conditions are like at the border crossings in Manitoba, but the ones in southern Ontario are very busy all the time, with a lot of truck traffic. Typically though, Fridays and Saturdays are the busiest times. But seeing as how it's now September, it shouldn't be too bad.

Obviously, try to avoid rush hour as well.

Emerson

If you avoid the weekends (including Friday), you should be able to cross the border quickly.

However, TF stock seems to be low everywhere.

Many BC members here cross the border a lot (including myself), but have failed to land and significant "hauls".

Good luck!

Benzo, last time I went down(Aug 18) I crossed at Emerson at 5am on a saturday morning and there were only three cars in line, not much wait at all. Also go all the way to Fargo atleast- 2 Targets and Two Walmarts there, also about 40 minutes down I-94 toward Minneapolis is Fergus Falls. It also has Target and Walmart.
