The internet saves the day!

It's really amazing the type of information you can now access through the internet. Scott and I were discussing this a while back when we were getting ready for our Deception Pass camping trip. We marveled that the Washington state parks site not only lets you view (and choose) available campsites, but also shows you pictures of each individual site so you can gauge shade, the level of the ground, etc.

Tonight, I'm impressed I was able to pull up archived data of the average wait times at the Washington/Canada border. The Cascade Gateway Data site can chart the average delay time down to the hour of a specific day. So cool! Based on the data for last year's Thanksgiving weekend, we've decided we'll try to cross the border back into the States this Sunday around 9-10pm. If history is our gauge, the average wait times by then should be down to less than 45 minutes. We'll let you know how it goes!
