Do Canadians like this adventure drive (see below)?

Eric S asked:

*This is a 7,600 kilometer drive from Key West, Florida, USA alllll the way to Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada.

Key West, Florida, USA (Southernmost point of the Continental USA where the coldest temperature ever recorded since the year 1900 was +5 degrees Celsius above zero. [It's never in its history been cold enough for water to turn to ice.]

Average winter temperature is about 25 degrees Celsius during the day.

In summer, it never ever falls below 28 degrees Celsius in Key West from Late May until the end of October, and with lots of humidity.

And the drive covers quite a bit of scenery. You’d go through Florida, the deep South, back country roads in the middle heartland USA Missouri, up the Mississippi through Minnesota and the lake country, up into Manitoba, across the Canadian Prairies - Sask Albert and BC.

And then my favourite part: The Alaska highway as they call it, crosses from BC to the Yukon and back to BC and back to the Yukon 9 times in a row!!! before FINALLY reaching Whitehorse!

Does this sound fun? Look at the link below.

Oh also between the Deep South and Missouri, you have a piece of the Appalachian mountain chain and the great smokey mountains.

    That sounds like an EPIC road trip!

    I would find that amazingly fun.

    Actually I’m planning a trip up North as well to Tuktoyuktuk this summer becuase I’ve never seen the Arctic Ocean or the far North. Except I’m only going from Calgary. From Key West would be incredible… such changes in scenery it would be unbelievable. How many kilometers is that? that’s insane.

    Good luck on your trip either way!
