Great northern route 2
 

Driving this route to Washington on my way to the WNM. I have written a blurb about the first day. Will try and put up pics when I get better Internet.

I left at 6 this morning and got 14 miles away to remember I forgot my laptop with the camera in it. So an hour behind but I drove 122 to 2, took some back roads and drove rt5 north along the Connecticut river up to st Johnsbury VT. From there I picked up 2 west over to lake Champlain and basically up through the middle of it until i hit the Canadian boarder. Figured I would get the other side of Montreal and call it a night.
Unfortunately traffic was worse than expected and it took me longer than I planned. I pretty much hate driving through cities and this was the worse with signs in a language foreign to me. Needless to say I made it but had to deviate a bit. I am now on route 148 in Lachute, Quebec at a hotel that works for 70 dollars cash. The lady spoke good English so that was a plus. It will be a bit of a ride but hope to make it to Sault St Marie tomorrow.

Sounds like a fun trip so far.
Where you headed?

Re: Great northern route 2
 

Is it safe to assume that you're driving from MA to Washington state? I'm not sure what WNM is but I'm very familiar with highway 2 due to my several trips from Alaska to Michigan. I dislike city driving and my time on highway 2 across the top of the country was a welcome reprieve.

Good luck Frank!! You know if I wasn't already scheduled for a long trip in September, I would more than likely have joined you for some crazy, but good, traveling like we had in 2013 :D. Stay safe and look for some Sloppy Joe Restaurants along the way :D.

Sounds exciting, can't beat the scenery. May all be safe!

Re: Great northern route 2
 

Are you travelling by yourself? Any problem getting into Canada? Did the car have any charm with the border authority? That's three questions... Bill

Re: Great northern route 2
 

Frank, I envy your trip. Maybe some day I will retire and I can try such adventures.
