Has anyone recently used the Ferry from Bellingham, WA to AK? I want to travel with firearms and will be declaring this, just wondering if this means they will be doing a search of my vehicle before hand. If this would become required as part of the process or if they already do this no matter what. Thanks for you info.

If you keep them cased and locked up they stay in the vehicle. Otherwise they will be locked in the AMHS locker.

I have never said anything about guns or ammo. They really don't want to know either. Do not remove them from the vehicle.

AMHS care about gas cans full or empty, propane cylinders,  and the correct length of your vehicle if its not a standard car or truck. A trailer must be measured before getting tickets with the vehicle overall length. They will measure at the gate.

I thought the ferry didn't go US to US this year, i.e., you have to enter/exit through Canada

Might want to confirm, as the Border Guards, will be less than sympathetic

I think the Columbia was the only Mainline ship running. Bellingham to all points. I hope that didn't shit the bed.

Still shows booking available. No cross gulf or Prince Rupert.

So you can only go as far as Haines, correct?
Have to drive through Canada to hit mainland Alaska road system

Haines looks to be the best spot to get on the road system. Canada back into AK to get to the rest of the state.

Can always use AML...
