how big of a drive is that?
From southern Michigan, it's about 2400 miles round trip. The research I've done, it's all paved and in good condition (we'll see).

thats a fair sized trip, which province are you going to the bay in it can get to it from Manitoba, Ontario or Quebec?
We are hooking up the 5th wheel and heading to cold lake, Alberta this year which is about 700 miles one way, Oldest boy is posted to the base up there. We haven't quite decided on the way home yet so it could turn into a 2000mile trip. after that, the camper goes back on the truck for the season.
we were thinking about doing another trip to Ontario again this yea,r but take the truck camper instead of a airplane, but I think we are going to save that for a different year as that is 2250 miles each way, and with the trip to Alberta planed this summer I don't think I have enough holiday time left to make a log trip like that worth it.

The plan is Quebec as that's the only paved road I found. (plug in Radisson or Ft George to get driving directions)
Original plans were New England to Newfoundland and back via the Labrador Highway (~4500 miles) over 2-3 months but family commitments got in the way.
There is a train to Churchill in Manitoba but my understanding is no road (maybe a winter ice road).

nice, when I finally retire, I thing the cross country trip to Newfoundland is going to be one of the first trips we do. it will be long about a 9000mile trip as I am in British Columbia, but newfoundland and Labrador are the only places in Canada I haven't been yet
