It took a while but it is high time to write the recap about our time in North America. Especially with all the things going on over there right now. Things like cutting the National Park Service. But before we get into that let\u00b4s talk about border crossings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Border Crossings:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Of all the borders we have crossed in the past the one from Mexico to the US was the one I was most worried about. Still remembering the last time i came to the US and being questioned by a border patrol agent for 15 minutes at Newark Airport.<br>For this border crossing we chose Sonoyta &#8211; Lukeville. Reason #1 it seemed to be a small enough crossing at which we expected not much traffic. Reason #2 there is the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument right after the crossing and Stefan does have a thing for cacti.<br>The border crossing itself was the smoothest and shortest of all the border crossings we have had in the past. With waiting in line it took us maybe 10 minutes. Considering that for our previous bordercrossings we always expected a 4 hour minimum, this was like ringing a door bell and being let into a friends house. A friends house with security and guns, but a friends house none the less. And this was not like a fluke but all of our crossings between the US and Canada were like this. Ah yes when we entered from Canada into Montana the border patrol agent did speak German, which at first was a bit of a surprise, but it seems Montana does have one of the highest German ancestry population in the US.<br>One more thing, to enter the United States you need an I-94 document, which allows you (as German) to stay in the United States for up to three months. If you fly this usually gets done by the airline. If you enter by land you have to do this either at the border or beforehand online. When we entered Alaska a new one was filed for us, which extended our stay until 13th of Nov. Usually you need to be out of the United States for at least 4 weeks, and then it is still up to the border patrol agent whether or not they grant you a new one, and if you travel like for a weekend or so into Canada or Mexico (or even longer) this still counts towards your three months period you are allowed to stay in the US. Btw as a German you can stay up to six months in Canada, at least at the time we traveled.<br><br>&#8211; Sonyta (Mexico) &#8211; Lukeville (USA)<br>&#8211; Peace Arch (USA &#8211; Canada)<br>&#8211; Little Gold Creek (Top of the world Highway Canada -&gt; USA)<br>&#8211; Beaver Creen Border Crossing (USA -&gt; Canada)<br>&#8211; Roosville Border Crossing (Canada -&gt; USA)<br>&#8211; Blue Water Bridge Border Crossing (USA -&gt; Canada)<br>&#8211; Fort Kent (Canada -&gt; USA)<br>&#8211; JFK Airport (USA -&gt; Germany)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Travelling in the US:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, having seen reels on Instagram of motorcyclists and their encounter with local or state law enforcement we (or rather I) was preparing myself for our first encounter with a twitchy police officer but again, all the time we have spent in the US not one single time we have been stopped. We did however get the finger from a group of Harley riders but oh well, I mean those guys do ride Harleys after all ;-).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Food:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Coming from South and Central America, we have been spoiled. In general food in the US ain\u00b4t good. Of course you can have proper meals with high quality ingredients but the price tag that is attached to that is as well premium. And there is no grandma in a town square that sells home cooked meals ;-), or at least we have not had the pleasure of finding one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Landscape:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ah the gringos, they are burdened with simply jawdropping landscape and this is not just what we all know from TV or the internet like the Grand Canyon or Yellowstone, but all the rest of it as well. The desert, red rock country, the rockies, fly-over-country, the great lakes &#8230; And up until now, with the National Park Service and the National Parks, Forests, Monuments, they have done a very good job in preserving this, whether or not this will continue, only time will tell, but it would be a shame if they did not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Federal States visited:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>USA:<br><br>&#8211; Arizona<br>&#8211; Nevada<br>&#8211; California<br>&#8211; Oregon<br>&#8211; Washington<br>&#8211; Alaska<br>&#8211; Montana<br>&#8211; Wyoming<br>&#8211; Idaho<br>&#8211; Utah<br>&#8211; Colorado<br>&#8211; Nebraska<br>&#8211; South Dakota<br>&#8211; Minnesota<br>&#8211; Wisconsin<br>&#8211; Michigan<br>&#8211; Maine<br>&#8211; New Hampshire<br>&#8211; Massachusetts<br>&#8211; Rhode Island<br>&#8211; Connecticut<br>&#8211; New York<br>&#8211; (New Jersey)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Canada:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Much more chill than the US, or to quote from Iron Man 2: &#8220;This ain\u00b4t Canada, we do not leave our doors unlocked at night.&#8221; One guy I talked to at the Dempster Highway said, in the US people are always hustling, whereas in Canada people also tend to live a little. The interesting thing i found was that Alaska, while belonging to the US, in that respect is more like Canada, and the rest of the US is called the lower 49s.<br><br>&#8211; British
