Across Canada with a Shitty Camera...

So i was having a couple beers at my friends house this last summer...had too many...and i wasnt the only one...somehow this idea of driving to Montreal came up.



Next morning at 9 a.m. beautifull summer morning i got up, packed my bag, grabbed my broken camera (that i didnt know was broken at the moment), met my other two friends with who i was going on this trip with...and at 12:00 we got on the Number One Highway heading east.....................with the car just hitting 180,000km as we literally got on the willingdon entrance to highway one..........overall it took us almost $600 dollars in gas, 2 days and 13 hours of driving....

........Missed Manitoba because the camera was dead, some of ontario also.........and this is how it happened....

what a amazing random trip.. me and my friends do that kind of thing all the time in our yellow volvo where the ODO stopped at 500,000km and its still going strong... but 2 days and 13 hours dosent sound quite right.. how fast were you going? did you stop at all along the way?

Well, we did stop for short periods of time but mostly it was continuous driving...that is why it was so fast....at 24 Hours and 1775 Km we were past Regina, at 48 Hours and 3800 Km we were at Sault Ste Marie and 13 Hours to Montreal.

All we used was this map:

Cool photos. 3 people in a Prelude tho? I'd hate to be the one stuffed in the back.
