I didn't include other countries like that, but am trying to find out the distance at this point just for the hell of it.

There isn't a road that connects Calgary to Buenos Aires. Kind of hard to calculate the milage. A good 4x4 with a winch, 2 months (not during the wet season), and a good repore with the Drug Cartels in the area could make it through Panama, but not a Motorhome. It would have to be shipped. But, if Hawaii counts, I guess this one would have to, as well.

OK, so google lists a direct line distance of 10946 kms, which kind of validates my estimate of 13000-14000 km drive. Knalus indicates there is no connecting road but I did just read a story that someone drove from Buenos Aires to Alaska and then over to Asia (yes, some sea transport might be required.) Wow, just wow.
Jydk, any further info you have on what you saw and where? That is very interesting.

Guess I am not alone in being pissed off at him today!! 
So CP has found 15 of 50 plates spotted so far. 16 of 100 slots filled. Not bad.

Saw an Arizona plate on a gold SUV on Sarcee going west today at about 2:45. Coming back from a rained-out golf game.

Saw a great big motorhome with Utah tags on Deerfoot heading South towards 22x today. Couldn't get a pic though, didn't have a camera.

Uhh so I was driving down Lake Bonavista Drive and saw a Washington plate parked at the side of the road. How does that work? I was driving, but they were parked.

Man that's nothing. When we were in Croatia last year there was a Ford Expedition with New York plates on it. Why on earth would somebody take an Expedition halfway across the world? A fancy car I could understand but an Expedition?
