No, it's not for any of the obvious reasons one would conjecture, such as being caught trying to smuggle drugs, money, food, tobacco, guns, booze or cats over the border. We will always remember this as the "Camera Eating Border" and this is why:
While approaching the Canada-US border we spied a border monument by the side of the road. I asked B to get out her camera and try to take a couple of shots of it as we were approaching.
"Click - click - It's out of focus! #%&##$%!!! The @#$^^#& camera won't focus!"
Right then and there the lens of our Canon G12 seized up and has never moved since. We quickly got the trusty Nikon into action and managed to get a couple more shots before we were forced to move on. On arriving in Houlton, just a mile down I-95, our first stop was at the Houlton Wally World camera department in search of a replacement.
Other than that, our border crossing into Maine was completely without incident.
