Montreal, QC to Brampton, ON = 579 km
Slept in at Montreal, didn't do Notre Dame, just wanted to get home. On a holiday Monday, this attempt was a stupid move. After breakfast, and a late start, I proceeded home. My first turn to get onto the highway had me a sitting duck, with other sitting ducks on an on ramp. A half hour later we (every car on the planet) finally crawled to 20, because there were road exit closures along the one lucky ramp I tried to take. Traffic picked up until Belleville, and then I was stuck going 20-40km/h until Cobourg. I gave up on the 401 at Brock Road and took the 407 for the rest of the journey home.
I plan to more throughly update each blog with more pics and better information, as I would like to keep this as a record for myself as much as I do enjoy sharing my journey with anyone else willing to read.
This concludes my solo drive of the Maritimes. I'm very proud and happy of my accomplishment. I could sit here and wait for time to tick on by, waiting for the right set of circumstances to make this trip happen. Or I could just say who cares and get up and go. I chose the latter. You only have one life to live. Make the best of it in your own way.
Total trip distance: 5108 km
Total seat time (actual moving): 58 hours, 21 minutes, over the course of 8 days.
Total experience level: Legendary
