Adventurous Baby Boomers Turned Back at Border

Some Baby Boomers who have been adventurous travelers and experimenters since their high-school years are getting an unpleasant surprise at Canadian customs on their way to Whistler and other Canadian destinations. According to an article by J.D. O'Connor titled "Border Crossing a Bust for Boomers" in Mountain News' The Industry Report, a growing number are being refused admittance.

Among the reasons: "Stealing the clown head from the Jack n' The Box when you were in high school" to having a medical marijuana card. The probable cause: Enhanced intelligence sharing between the U.S. and Canada, according to the article's author.
