I wouldn't go MudChucker's route, never in a 100 million years. Too heavily populated that way, much to heavy.
No I'd drive to see the west coast of Lake Michigan to Sault Ste. Marie, Ottawa area, Montreal, Quebec City, Gaspe, and over. 1000 km from eastern side of Quebec to ferry at N. Sydney, NS, but you can see lots of interesting places along the way.
Then coming back you take the ferry across to Blanc Sablon and across Labrador then down Quebec, 389 see links in my signature for my Labrador trip. The difference is that the Trans Labrador Highway was completed in 2009. Then you go along the north shore of the St. Lawrence
See, there are 2 sides to the St. Lawrence River.
& BTW Gros Morne National Park in comparison to Cabot Trail is 1000 to 1.
You did say you have lovely amounts of time didn't you? So much to see and do.
:B
& btw, did cross continent last late summer to early fall and picked up t'other sea at Skagway, AK. One route going, ie. up by Saguenay then to Timmons and over to Thunder Bay and worked north so as to pick up Hay River, NWT then back and over to Yukon. Yeah, a bit north. Had Tyrrell Dinosaur Museum as MUST SEE. Right about that. Lots more, 'course. Don't let anyone say Canadian side has more expensive gas. When are you likely to have the chance? Haven't finished photos... drat.
