from the east to the west

Our mission: Pittsburgh to Vancouver in 9 days with a bit of dillydallying along the way.

Our route is akin to that of a drunken crow......Pittsburgh, Boston, Montreal, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Banff, Jasper, and finally Vancouver. We're getting a right proper taste of Canadian flavour as we trudge slowly along the Trans-Canada. About 6,300 kms in all.

Ontario is much, much longer than you realize unless you've driven across it. Stu and I are in day 2 of driving across this ginormous province and we're ready for friendly Manitoba. We stopped at Lake Superior Prov. Park and took a short hike to see some 8000 yr old pictographs carved upon cliff faces along the lake shore.

So much I could say but sleep is calling and Stu is already snoring. Tonight we're sleeping at a motel in Ignance, which is about 3 hrs east of the Manitoba border. Ontario is stupid large.
Stay tuned for more details and many flickr photos. Nite.
