Great pic. I am also remained of an incident. After going on a couple of 
horseback trips in the Canadian Rockies, we decided to bring our own saddle 
to replace the supplied ones, which were just impossibly oversize. These 
were ?western? saddles and we were used to what people in the U.S. call 
?English" saddles. Well, we rented a couple of saddles that were good fits, 
took them with us on the ride, and, in the course of returning, bought a 
couple of Cuban cigars.

At the Canada/Wyoming border, they gave us a very hard time, accusing us of 
importing a saddle. It took a while to convince them that we had procured 
the saddle in the U.S. At that time, I decided that if they discovered the 
damn cigars, I would destroy them by smoking them on the spot.
