   Your experience was the exact opposite of mine, but it may have had to do   
   with where I was crossing.  I crossed into Canada at Grand Portage, MN,   
   which is probably not a popular crossing for US citizens with Kentucky   
   plates.  :)  They were nice, but they did detain me for some light   
   questioning.  They seemed very interested in how long I planned to stay,   
   did I have a job to return to, and was I visiting anyone in Canada.   
      
   Coming back into the US a little over a week later, I crossed back in at   
   Port Huron, MI.  The border crossing there was more formal, with the   
   mirrors that were pointed up under the car, etc., but the guy at the shack   
   barely looked at my passport before letting me pass.  Part of that could have   
   been because the vehicle behind me followed me right into the "box" that   
   only my vehicle was supposed to be in... they seemed a lot more interested   
   in what he/she was up to than what I was up to.  :)
