Steve,
Stay away from trucks, toll roads, cruise the speed limit in 5th gear and you will not likely even see a police car. Driving faster than the posted limit here is called "hurry up an wait!" or "going nowhere fast"....much like at home wouldn't you say??

I'm going to be driving from Lockport, NY to Barry's Bay, Ontario in a few weeks.
I'll be going over the Lewiston/Queenston bridge.
I hope to leave real early in the morning (4 or 5AM) to avoid the QEW/427/401 problems around Toronto during rush hour.
Anything else I should know about the rest of the trip?
I'm assuming it's still early enough in the fall/winter that there won't be any huge snow problems, is that correct?
Also, is there cell phone coverage the whole way? What do you do in case of a breakdown, etc?
Thanks

Weather looks good right through into next week. Yesterday I met a girl loading groceries into her white 08 HHR LS and we struck up a conversation. She was driving to Barry's Bay for the weekend. Up and back. She drove every weekend to visit her husband (retired) and living in their cottage. She was still working back here in Oshawa. She said the best route is to take highway 401 to the 115 north of Bowmanville to Peterborough and work your way to highway 62 on either highway 7 or 28 to Bancroft. I'm out of here for a few days to Bobcaygeon. Have a good trip and lets here all about it.
