I don't know if you guys realized this, but I just captured the ultimate milestone. I started page 350. It's not like all the other ones, this is the big one, it'll never come back again, and it's ALL MINE!!!!

Google mapped it

It's not THE most chalenging northern road I've found, but it's still great.

Amazing scenery, tonnes of curves and elevation changes, 80 km/h limit, with tonnes of sharp bend, and curve warning signs advising you to take it down to 50 km/h. Regions where the road hugs the shores of lakes, then back up into the forrest, and through the rock of the canadian shield.


At one point I was like "man I gotta ****" so I decided to pull over and run into the woods to go. HUGE MISTAKE! I was driven back into my car within seconds of stepping out by swarming bting insects.

I think that if you don't drive this road there is something wrong with you.

Forgot to add, that unlike other northern roads, it's perfectly paved. No potholes, or frost heaves, or crappy patch jobs, or gravel. Just smooth sailing.

Good thing. I would not want run into one. Just imagine ripping around a nice bend in the road and there it is. A HUGE MONSTER of a Beast stradling the road and no where to go. Yikes!

I have had a few close calls with dear over the years. One not to close but enough to hit the breaks with the Z and cause the guy behind me to panic.
