Go via one route, come back another.
I did this last year, got home to Maritimes on Oct 10, 2015.
-Going, crossed St. Lawrence Riviere du Loup up Saguenay and prowled -around up that way 2 or 3 days, Val d'or, etc.
-Over to Kirkland Lake, Timmins, picked up 11 and across to Thunder Bay.
-On to Manitoba, major through way, don't remember number.
-Rounded Winnipeg going north and worked my way north so that I would -get to Northwest Territories, ie. Hay River.
-Had to come way back south because so late in year to get to BC and up to Yukon
-Whitehorse residents sent me off to Skagway, AK rather than Dawson City.
Service Stations, eateries, etc. always had people with suggestions, or travel motto, talk to locals.
Coming back, One tourist attraction on my list many times more than any others, The Royal Tyrrell Museum. To which I say, was I ever right about that.
- Then via close to Winnipeg again, should have changed that for something different.
- Kept to 17 back through ON. Hey, ya know I worked out of Sudbury 72-78. 17 has changed since I went through in 2004. Since I know the towns I wasn't happy about change. Dropped down to Manitoulin Island for a day. Very much the same as 38 years before. Worth it.
- Quit 17 before Ottawa and went south to pick up my rovings to QC border and south.
- Finally connected with Hartland Covered Bridge.
Like I said, go one way return another. Talk to locals.
