Our only venture on our roadtrip outside of Canada was into the oddity that is Point Roberts, near where the ferry from Vancouver Island leaves you off on returning to the mainland. We actually spent more time in immigration than we did in Point Roberts which is very small. When the 49th parallel was decided as the dividing line between the USA and Canada, nobody thought of the small promontory sticking down into the Pacific Ocean south of Vancouver. The top half is in Canada, the bottom half is the USA. Thus, the only way to get to Point Roberts from mainland USA is through Canada.
The photo above is taken at the stone marker erected to delineate the boundary. The marker is in the USA. The hedge is the boundary. The house on the left is in Canada. Sure confused our Google Maps!!!
