We are finally back from our trip to Calgary from Niagara Falls. We took I-90 from Buffalo to Sioux Falls, SD and then up I-29 into Winnipeg and across. The US Route is very safe. For instance, in Indiana the toll for the whole state is $6.00, but you can easily see why. The roads are fantastic and every 50 miles is another 24 hour rest area/food court/WIFI/gas station. South and North Dakota are very boring, but overall it was a good trip.
On the way back we had to take the Canadian route, as we had filled our van with stuff to bring with us. I will never do that trip again. All is fine until Northern Ontario. We hit it during the day, and it was insane. Over 10 construction zones, one we had to stop completely for over an hour. There was a couple detours through dirt roads too. Limited passing lanes. If you can help it, do not travel through Northern Ontario.
Beautiful country up between Thunder Bay and the Soo, but I would rather get a cavity search at the US border than go through Sudbury again.
