I've run the Casino Niagara Marathon, which starts in Buffalo, crosses the Peace Bridge into Canada and ends in Niagara Falls, Ontario. Even post-9/11 it was remarkably little hassle (even for a green card-holder like me): Just show your ID when picking up your race packet at registration and off you go. -- Mark Roberts - Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
