My wife and I are driving out east to Nova Scotia this summer; we've got about three weeks in total to make the trip, and we were planning to spend about a week driving each way, camping along the way most nights. Anybody have any suggestions for the best route to take? I had thought we'd stay fairly far north through Ontario and Quebec (Sioux Lookout, Hearst, Amos...) and cross the St.Lawrence fairly far up at the ferrie to Rimouski or Riviere du Loup, and then on the way back, pass through Toronto and then maybe in Michigan and make our way NW across the US. Anybody have any suggestions for what absolutely must be seen on this trip, or roads to avoid?
Is it faster to just go south to Ottawa and then cut through Maine?
