Passport book with a chip came out about 5 years or so ago. Mine is just a little older so no ready lane until I renew or get a card.

DK, Your post asserts you can, within CBP regs, use a
Passport BOOK with chip in the Ready Lane. Can you
post info that supports that? I was always under the
impression the Ready Lane was for Passport CARD
along with some other doc's. Although I understand Passport
BOOK holders getting in the Ready Lane and Customs
letting them slide by. this dated 6/2013
Ready Lane - Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
What is Ready Lane?
Ready Lane is a dedicated primary vehicle lane for travelers entering the U.S. at land border ports of entry. Travelers who obtain and travel with a
radio frequency identification or RFID- enabled travel document may receive the benefits of using a Ready Lane to expedite the inspection process
while crossing the border. RFID-enabled cards approved by the Department of Homeland Security include: the U.S. Passport Card; the Enhanced Driver's
License (EDL); the Enhanced Tribal Card (ETC); trusted traveler cards (NEXUS, SENTRI, Global Entry and FAST cards); the new Enhanced Permanent
Resident Card (PRC) or new Border Crossing Card (BCC).

No better way to celebrate a U.S. holiday than to leave the country and come back after the holiday is over.

We were supposed to come back on Saturday and ran into some problems. Thus, Sunday it was!

One of these days, knock on cardon, I will be one of the lucky ones who can pick and choose when, if, and EVER I have to cross the border heading
north. Until that blessed day I have to get my baja dust fix in whenever I can. If that means crossing on the last day of a 4 day weekend, so be it.
You're right, it is a lot of time to sit. So is the rest of our drive after crossing. San Luis Obispo is another 6 - 7 hrs further (traffic willing).
But as I said, it's worth it to me.
Some of us have to do what we have to do, for our love of baja.

Makes sense. "American Americans" don't - usually - drive to visit their relatives in Mexico over long weekend in the middle of summer heat. This
group exceeds the numbers of US pensioners traveling to/from vacation homes in Mexico, shouldn't be a surprise.
