I'll be leaving Ontario next week for a few years at least... not by choice, but for work.
On the brightside, roadtrip!

I'm leaving from Angus, ON on the 23rd around 8 am, and taking 7 days to get to Cold Lake, AB. Anywhere you suggest I stop? Sights, food, souvenirs? Meetups for coffee maybe?!

Day 1: Angus - Sudbury - Sault Ste Marie

Day 2: Sault Ste Marie - White River - Thunder Bay

Day 3: Thunder Bay - Dryden - Kenora

Day 4: Kenora - Winnipeg - Brandon

Day 5: Brandon - Regina - Moose Jaw

Day 6: Moose Jaw - Saskatoon - Lloydminster

Day 7: Lloydminster - Cold Lake

No suggestions but wish you a good trip and maybe we will eventually see you again!

Looks like you have your distance per day planned out reasonably. Make sure to fuel up often, from Parry Sound to Winnipeg you should essentially never pass a station without topping up.

I'd probably stop for lunch in Sudbury, there's a surprising number of excellent restaurants there. Buzzy Browns would be my pick on a road trip. It's by no means the best resturant there, but its a good filling lunch.

Definitely Snafu! CNTC overland trip, maybe?

Yeah, each stop is about 3-4 hours driving, and never over 400kms. We'll be stopping for gas/food. For the longer stretches, I'll be bringing a 20L can of fuel just in case. After Winnipeg, the days get a little shorter, so it won't be so worrisome.

I'm hoping the Bullydog I ordered helps my mileage a bit too.

Good luck with your trip and few years. I think you can get to Winipeg from Thunder bay in 8 hours.

Yeah give or take, but with the fantastic mileage of my Xterra, I gotta stop at least every 400 kilometers lol.
Plus my dog is coming, so he needs time to stretch his legs and relax a little bit too.

Oh god , your not gonna have any room in the truck with your dog you might get better mileage if you ride your dog instead

i got 550 on a tank hwy , when i went to angus thats what i got , but every 400km is a good marker to stop at

I posted here, but it didn't save it... hmm.

Good to hear I should be getting 550ish highway. As long as it's not sucking fumes when I pull into town I'm happy lol.
Hendrix isn't too fond of being ridden, he's too lazy.

It's on my wishlist to drive to BC

Highway, without driving stupid, I can squeeze 600km out
