I drove down last winter,

Route:

Highway 3 (Crowsnest Pass -> Fernie -> Cranbrook)
which turns into BC-95, which turns into US-95 S, Entering the U.S via Idaho.
Continue south passing through Bonner's Ferry, and Sandpoint and jumping onto the I-90 at Coeur d'Alene which takes you right to Seattle.

This is a nice drive, not a major border crossing so you won't be waiting long. You get into the U.S fairly quickly this way and can start taking advantage of the U.S gas prices. I also spent the night in Coeur d'Alene, which is a nice spot and splits the trip up nicely. Obviously up for debate but i do think this is one of the quickest routes.

In other news,

Aug 5th: Section 141
Aug 6th: Section 183
Aug 7th: Section 132

3rd base line, left field, behind the plate. 15 strong.

Any comments on the night life? Is down by Safeco and Qwest "The Area"?

Appreciate the help guys, great thread!
