I knocked off the second of three permits this morning, the California Fire Permit.  This allows me to light a campfire and use my stove in California.  It was simple and free.  You go to the site, watch a video, take a quiz and they give you a link with your permit.  It is good for the year issued, so I had to wait until after January 1st to get it.

That leaves just the Canadian Entry Permit.  Getting that done requires me to gather and scan some documentation, but I do not expect any issues as I do not have a criminal history.  I hope to have that done by next week.
