I'm in your UECTzzz stealing your page 350zzz 
You can make excuses all day long, but I have page 350 *evil laugh*

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.

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.
