Travels With Charley Day 9

Steinbeck leaves Maine and travels west.  He visits Niagara Falls.  He tries to cut through Canada at one point to save himself a bit of driving, but he is stopped by immigration agents at the border.  The agents tell him that he may bring Charlie into Canada but the U.S. officials will not let him bring Charley back into the U.S.  Steinbeck proceeds to turn around and head back into the U.S. but not before being harassed my U.S. officials.  Steinbeck associates himself with truck drivers here and compares them to sailors.  He discovers that the truck drivers know little of the country other then their stops on their paths.
