Bucket List #1

To drive across the country.

Because Canada is such a large country, it would be very cool to see it through a windshield on a cross country drive.  A very quick online search says it would take five straight days of driving!

Since you can't see much at night, and driving five days without stopping seems a little ridiculous - I have decided that such a trip would be wasted doing it 'Cannonball' style.

I have an advantage living on one coast of the country - the option of either starting or finishing near my home.  Or, if I felt really ambitious, a round trip!

There are lots of ways to tackle such a drive, shortest route through Canada, most scenic, perhaps looking for the fastest, or perhaps navigate by attractions: Peggy's Cove in Nova Scotia, Niagara Falls or the CN Tower in Ontario, and so on.

At this point, if I were doing just the one coast to coast drive, I think I would look at buying a car on one coast with the intent of driving it cross country one the way home.  A five thousand kilometer journey in an unknown car; what could go wrong!  It would certainly add to the adventure aspect!

Something to think about!
