For those who are working Fridays (like me) but still want to go, I can even contemplate leaving at 10 pm Fri and arriving just in time for the Swap and driving back around 4-5pm Sat for midnight arrival back home. With 3-4 drivers its easily achievable AND you are home for the rest of Easter weekend. Drop me a pm if interested. If there's no takers, then I pass.

I might be interested in that as well

Jim, are you bringing the truck again. I'd love to do that trip with you.
The idea of taking a seated van is good. My truck is getting a bit long in the tooth for that journey though.

Let me know ASAP - I have to book flights!

I'd like to give you a solid answer, but don't know for sure yet.

Quick question guys: assuming we buy stuff at the swap meet, how do you deal with the duty and taxes when you get back to Canada? from what I've read I am under the impression that everybody will go on Friday and come back on Saturday, this will be barely 24 hours which qualify you for 50 bucks tax free (you lose this if the purchases exceed 50 dollars). I was planning on staying an extra night so that I am away for 48 hours and can claim the 400 dollars exception but I would gladly come easrlier if the penalty is not too steep. Thanks
