This way it will only be mind-numbingly boring once you hit the Dakotas....doing it through Canada (especially if the weather is still bad) will get old a few hours after he leaves Niagara.

While I have not driven past Winnipeg as an adult, I told Patrik once he hits the great lakes it is 8 hours of lake on your left, trees on your right.
I think he has a romantic notion of small town Canada, the Trans Canada highway, ... I am not sure the attraction. It is a big thing for him. A couple years ago the plan was I would meet them in eastern Canada and drive out together. I had to back away from that thought, not for fear of the drive just personal change in my life made it difficult.
Patrik also wants to go to Edmonton during his week and a half in Calgary, so clearly he is insane!!!
