Heads Up!!! Next week is full of travel restrictions on both sides of the border. Canada Day restrictions will start on Tuesday June 30th until Thursday July 2nd. Then US Independence Day restrictions start in some jurisdictions on July 2nd and the rest on July 3rd and the restrictions don't end until Sunday or Monday (depending on the jurisdiction). It is important to read your permits to know what you can and cannot do during these travel restricted holidays. If using annual permits, you still need to know what and where the restrictions are and if you need to file trip logs, they must be done ahead of the DOT day off.
