Looking across the Border into Canada (B.C.)

As we drove down Mt Baker through Sumas, the border crossing, on the way to Worldmark Birch Bay, we saw this mountain over the border.  So easy to see over in Canada!

In front of us are acres and acres of raspberry fields!  There used to be more dairy farms here; then they were changed into raspberry fields.  Turns out that Whatcom County produces 77% of the raspberries in the state and Washington State produces 59% of the raspberries grown in the US.  Who knew?

  And this road to the right of us – that‘s in Canada too – no fence, just a grassy ditch.   ….hmmmm, I don’t see an official border crossing. 

But…. our friends who live there told us that if you do try to cross here      , the authorities will be informed and you will be picked up…quickly.
