Yes, some quick quotes from online for a ferry were right around $4,500. Expensive no doubt. However, for the convenience of not having to go through Canada, being able to keep all of my guns, ammo, reloading components, etc with me, and the fact it'll reduce the driving portion of the trip by about 20 hours (in January) it feels worth it to me. To provide more context, I'll have my girlfriend with me in a FWD Jeep Renegade. Yeah, not the most winter-ready vehicle out there. She's from El Paso, TX as well so has zero experience driving on ice, snow, etc. Looking at the complicated process I may have to suck it up and ship the guns with HHG and leave the bulk of my ammo and components with my parents. If anyone has experience with the ferry though, specifically in the winter I'd be much appreciated. Thanks for all the responses so far!
