It's not a quick drive, and it involves a total of 4 border crossings, 1 of which being Canada customs and border security, another other being US customs and border security (the last 2 just being the remote outpost that can be an annoying delay to get past, but otherwise not a big deal)

I’d say the only reason to go is solely to say you actually went to the boarder anomaly. BUT if you’re planning a vacation to Seattle it’s like a two hour drive away so you can easily go for the day if you have a car and a passport, plus you get to go to Canada for a little while as an extra treat.

The area, which had a population of 1,314 at the 2010 census, is reached by land by traveling 25 mi (40 km) through Canada. It is a census-designated place (CDP) in Whatcom County, Washington with a post office, and a ZIP Code of 98281.[2] Direct sea and air connections with the U.S. are available across Boundary Bay.

Saint Pierre and Miquelon are two islands off the coast of Newfoundland which belong to France. They could easily just be incorporated into Canada. Point Roberts is another area cut off due to some dots. It is funny how people get cut off from practicality due to some line drawn on a map. These areas should be given a referendum to see if they would like to join Canada.

One minute she says she feels safe because it's so far from the city. A minute later she says it's the end of the road and crazy people like that. But yes, the Angle should probably be given over to Canada.

If they don't, and go around the barrier they'll probably send either Canadian police, or possibly a US ranger or something (possibly the one that may be employed/stationed in Angle) You could just walk in where there isn't a gate nor cameras though, but that will be a really really long walk to get to Angle from the border.

If Canada and the US just had a simple Schengen-style agreement (like mainland Europe) of an open border between the two countries there would be no issue here.

It's usually the American surveyors who think they never make mistakes because they r American Surveyors and decided that part of Canada is America.

I seriously doubt the U.S. surveyed the border alone; at the time, I am sure the United Kingdom did its own surveying and the two countries negotiated a deal. I'm sure there are Canadians, Brazilians, etc that believe they never make mistakes either.
