Hi loulou57:
Thank you for the info. When you mention the trip from Wawa to the Sioux, do you mean Sault Ste. Marie?
I've mapped out 2 routes from Thunder Bay. One is highway 11 (northern) through Hearst-Cohrane to North Bay.
The other from Thunder Bay is highway 17 to Sault Ste. Marie- Sudbury to North Bay.
From North Bay I've mapped out highway 17 to Kanata/Ottawa.
I am not going into Toronto as we have been there before (twice) by plane and did some touring around Toronto/Niagara Falls, etc.
As for fuel, I have an extra diesel tank. Gives me a total of about 65 gallons. For climbs, I am not to concerned as my tuned/modded, with exhaust brake dually handles our mountains out west very good. Just looking for good routes and sites.
Any input is much appreciated.

Sioux....Yes Sault Ste Marie

Going across the top Hearst Cochrane etc. Is a great trip. There is a park at Hearst. Also a really nice one, Nagagamissis, it is just a bout an hour south west of Hearst. It is one of our fav's.

If you had time... you could take road 631 passed Nagagamissis to Hornepayne. Hornepayne is a railroad town. There is a museum. When we went one time the men there took my hubby through the roundhouse. Wonderful history about the railroad and northern Ontario. We once saw a train go through with 175 cars on it. The area is very remote, not much in the town but it is all there is for miles.

When at Cochrane you could book the polar bear express and journey to Hudson Bay.

Keep your gas tank full, we don't let ours go under 3/4. Gas stations are few and far in places as well as opening times.
