Responding to the post down below but was getting kind of long so.. the border is very very tight and cameras have been set up all along the border that can spot ANY movement with night vision as well. Everything and everybody goes through the border crossings some of which are open 24 hours, some not. No more laying down the planks and jumping the ditch a minute. They will have you in two minutes or less and no one will know where they took you. This is NW Washington and our little town is 3 miles from the border This is the place where they discovered the tunnel dug under the road from a greenhouse to an old farm house on the U.S side and they must have worked more than a year digging out the dirt and installing plywood sides and roof of tunnel. The four lads are sitting in a very dark place now waiting to hear their fate. we always take our original birth certificates and licenses and must have a parental permission slip if we are carrying the grandchildren. We probably cross the border once a month and you just act calm and only answer the questions you are asked. No more no less. If you are bringing farm machinery across the border you best have all and I mean all dirt, weeds and chemicals removed for inspection. You can bring old tractors and machinery and parts across either way but best have sale bills if you just bought them or have an address if you plan to leave them. I got turned away at the border trying to return some wood pallets for 3 bucks apiece back to Canada because I might be carring some foreign material in the wood or have some preservative or chemical residue on them. No flowers or plants can come across here without Gov't inspection and certificate. We've left more than one bouquet at the border!! Since 911 it is so tight here that you best make sure that the vehicle you are driving has clean plates and your driving record is clean cause when they flash that picture of it in the lineup it will show them everything about you and yours for the last 10 years. sorry i got to rambling what else do you want to know?

Madison's County - by Anthony West. Philip Madison has been a good friend of mine for quite some time. He has patiently suffered my incessant chit chat on the subject of tractors for longer than I care to remember, and on many occasions he has put himself out, dropped what ever it was he was doing, to come and lend a hand cranking handles, or loading a find onto a trailer. Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
