"A geopolitical oddity, Point Roberts is a part of the mainland United States but is not physically connected to it, making it a pene-exclave of the U.S. It is located on the southernmost tip of the Tsawwassen Peninsula, south of Delta, British Columbia, Canada, and can be reached by land from the rest of the United States, only by traveling through Canada. It can be reached directly from the rest of Washington and the U.S. by crossing Boundary Bay by sea or air." If there isn't a ferry directly to it I wouldn't be able to go there without going through Canada... that will complicate getting the vehicle home... not to mention having to get all the ammo and other things like that out of my vehicle... it's a real pain, if we're up in Bellingham we can't go up without planning ahead... same thing with travelling east...

The US and Britain thus had roughly equal claim to the west coast all the way to Alaska ( which was Russian territory until 1867.) For half a century, the fate of the Pacific Northwest was up in the air. The Polk administration came in the 1840's with a ruthlessly expansionist vision. His theme was "54 40 or fight", referring to the latitude of the Alaska panhandle. Quickly becoming entangled in a war of attrition with Mexico, he pressed the British for an immediate resolution of the Oregon problem. The quick compromise was a border drawn at the 49th parallel, cutting off Point Roberts from the US mainland.

The British did cause a few issues by drawing seemingly arbitrary lines on maps. I missed Point Roberts on my last tour of coastal NW Washington. Did have my fill with a three day visit to the San Juan's followed by Olympic and a trip out to Flattery point, the North Western most point in the continental US. Flattery is a spectacular place. Well worth the side trip and short hike to the ocean. Mike, thanks for the history refresher. Good thing for Point Roberts we have not been at war with Canada since 1812. I seem to recall a Canadian town in the St Laurence seaway that has a similar plight to Point Roberts. Been a while since I have been up there.

Will have to look into the timing. Have been reading the Lewis and Clark Journals, and it was established after that. There time spent on the shores of the Columbia River and at Fort Clatsop established our presence here. So much interesting history concerning the influence of local names, especially in Oregon. That 92 looked great, but my wife said no. I didn't even ask her about that cool pickup. :).

In fact, there was twenty years of English and American exploration that preceded them, including the Meares trading expedition (1789 British), the Kendrick expedition (1789 American), the MacKenzie expedition (1793 Canadian) and, of course, Vancouver in 1793 (British). The Spanish actually opened the coast all the way to Alaska by 1775, but they are long forgotten. California was officially the northern extent of Mexico, while Oregon and Washington were claimed by Britain and the US.
