[pct-l] Backtrack from Canada

[Ernie Castillo]

I, too, am a frequent reader of this distribution list and enjoy the wonderful wealth of information it contains.
 
I also have noticed, as with other mediums, that sometimes the truth can get stretched and distorted.
 
For instance, are you absolutely certain that just because you have been arrested in the United States for driving under the influence that Canada will deny you entry? Have you gone through the official process and explained what your purpose is for entering Canada. (example: "After finishing a thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail, I want to sign the registry at Manning Park, take a hot shower at the lodge, eat a meal or two, and plan my return to the United States by available means of transportation.")
