By taking the ferry, it takes longer to get there, but saves a couple hours of driving, theres no chance of traffic or lineup at the boarder, and you can drink on the boat! Whose going to drive you the rest of the way?

Court, the boat cuts out some driving, so less wear on the car. And if it breaks there, we can limp it to the boat.
Bryan, obviously not to get drunk. It's a couple hour boat ride, and the motel is <5min drive away from the port.

Lucian and friends did, we crossed in Buffalo. The Buffalo crossing was near empty, but the bridge was completely packed. And on the way home, Buffalo was packed both ways.

It's 9 hours from me if I cross at Ogdensburgh, NY.
Or 9.5 hours if I cross at Detroit.
I like the boat idea but if I did make the trip, I would likely pick Ogdensburgh.

Which ever way you choose, its the best thing you will do this summer if you come out to it.
Court, with that many stop overs while in Detroit I'd be happy I made it out! Haha.

Traveling at night FTW.
I crossed at the 1000 Islands at 2am, not a car in sight, hell I think I woke up the customs officer. I think between the border and Syracuse(1.5 hours) I saw maybe 5 cars. I got to Buffalo around 5am, roads were still pretty quiet, sailed through the tolls and whatnot like a breeze. Roads were pretty decent most of the way too. Worst part was probably a few stretches of the 401 between Quebec and Kingston.

The interstates are a breeze to drive on compared to our craptastic highways.
Deep, you gonna take the ferry? Where you gonna stay?

Well, unless you reserved a place a while ago, looks like you're with us at the plantation or camping, lol.
Plantation is <15min drive from the track and the owner is very chill with us. Plus you can repair things there if anything were to break.

Why the f did they change the week? I am going to be at Heavy Montreal that weekend. I would have definitely taken the ferry route, seems ideal to me.

Should come to the shootout instead! I'm actually liking that they changed the weekend, because this way the ExtremePSI 4G63 dragster wont be at a competition, so with any luck they will bring it out. Plus, theres also a big car show in Detroit the following weekend that would be cool to check out. Jason, didn't think they would! If things work out well for me this year, I'm gonna book at one of the larger hotel/motels closer to the city and drink with some of the big shots.

For anyone else booking at the plantation and isnt going for a cabin, be sure to first ask for rooms 124 and 125 first so we can fill up that one building.

Terry and myself are also booked for the ferry. In case anyone is interested, normally the staff is required to drive the vehicles onto the boat, however after talking with the manager, they can make exceptions .
