Heading up a week earlier than usual this year and wanted to check to see if anyone has insights as to customs crossing from International Falls to Fort Frances. With the Canadian opener being on Sat 5/18, will it be a better idea to cross Fri night instead of Sat am?

Thanks,
Tuna

Saturday is always busy. I'd try to cross Friday night or, as Walllee says, in the middle of the night. Being the opener, expect it to be busy and have patience.

Oh Gawd I would not want to try to cross there for the Canadian opener. It can be a long nervous wait in the off season.

Wallee said it best. 2AM
