Flagpoling

Today I went to the US/Canadian border to "Flagpole" and get my work permit for the next 12 months.

I drove down to Peace Arch on highway 99 parked my car at the Canadian office and walked across to the US border. After a short wait in the queue the officer there gave me a form that said I was flagpoling and I walked back over to the Canadian office to apply for my permit.

All my paperwork was in order and I paid my fees in cash and waited 20mins while they reviewed my application then with a sigh of huge relief I received my permit neatly stapled into my passport. Yeehaaa! I now have work, food and accomodation for another 12 months here.

I'm looking forward to my next adventures. Now I have a huge list of things to do in the city before I return to the backcountry remoteness once more!
