Have you thought about going home through the U.S.? Just go south from Winnipeg to Grand Forks, ND. Turn East on #2 Highway until you get to Wakefield, Michigan where you decide if you want to take Highway 28 or # 2 highway. Highway 28 will take you to Marquette, MI. Highway #2 will take you on a big dip to the south and then come back up. At Marquette you can grab highway 41 south back to #2 or you can stay on 28 depending on which way you want to go home from there. If you go down to #2 you will go over to St. Ignace go south on I75 all the way to Detroit, cross the border into Windsor and on to Kingston or by staying on 28 you can go to I 75 north bound to the Sault and into Canada, grab highway 17 and go home via that route. In the States there are lots of gas stations along the way. I don't know what it's like for gas stations along #17 from the Sault to Kingston. I've never been on #11 but have been on #17 from the Sault to Winnipeg and beyond. It's been many years tho'. We use #2 across the top of the States every two years to go to Alberta and back.
This^^^^^
+ fuel/gas much much cheaper.Did this 3 years ago and 17 every summer ,the U.S. route is smoother for the most part & there is at least one campground open in Michigan
