When traveling from Seattle to Boston, to use Highway #2 to Sault-Ste-Marie to Montreal then down 35 and 89 to Boston? Rather than travel the major highways in the US and pay the tolls? yes we know ...
Last spring, we drove across WA, northern ID, MT, ND, MN, and then into Ontario near Thunder Bay and across almost to Ottawa then south down to NY and across to VT, NH, and ME. Roads were fine, scenery was spectacular, the provincial CG's were good too. We had a fun time and met many nice people and traffic was no problem. Gas was a little more expensive than some other routes but seeing new country and enjoying the drive was well worth the small extra cost.
