Registration

Registration form (pdf or doc)

Customs information

If you are crossing into the U.S., you will need a passport, an I-68, a NEXUS Pass, or a birth certificate and a picture ID. There are two ways which you can deal with customs.

Plan A:

Every Canadian gets to talk to U.S. Customs at Young’s Bay and tell them they do not have any firearms, too much alcohol, where they live, whether they have a passport or I-68 or NEXUS Pass, birth certificate and a picture ID, and how long they will be the U.S. and where. That should take a half hour or longer. When I checked into the U.S. after Spring Escape it was quite slow because the agent I was communicating with was typing the information into a computer as I was giving it to him.

Blan B:

When you send in your registration information, include copies of the documents you are going to use for identification and the information listed below. The Comodore will fax your information from Flag Island to the U.S. Customs in Warroad. This will speed up the entrance into the U.S. for Canadian citizens. Only one Canadian would be needed to call from Young's Bay to U.S. Customs and verify the information already faxed by me to the U.S. customs in advance.

Saturday afternoon follow the blue and red course line to Wiley Point Lodge for a special activity John Wiebe and Shawna Gillespie have planned for us and dinner.  Wiley Point Lodge is a premiere Lodge on Lake of the Woods.   Wiley Point Lodge has hosted  nationally televised Muskie tournaments during September in years past.  We will spend the night at Wiley Point Lodge.  Click the Wiley Point Lodge placer mark on the google map for more information and their web site.

Sunday afternoon and evening there will be an optional anchorage for the afternoon and evening at Double Echo Bay.  If you click on the place mark for Double Echo Bay on the google map it will tell you how to get a double echo in the bay.  Follow the green course line southwest from Wiley Point Lodge until you find the little red course line going into Double Echo Bay.
