[FC] route to Detroit

Wed May 23 13:24:58 EDT 2007

Clark is right about the gas prices.  However, if that isn't too much of an
issue for you, and you haven't been to the north side of the Great Lakes,
I'd suggest taking 81 north, and crossing at the Thousand Islands.  The
Thousand Islands Parkway is a beautiful drive, and once you're on the 401
it's practically a straight shot across to Detroit.

If you do go this way, I highly recommend staying at a particular B&B in
Kingston, Ont: http://www.rosemountinn.com/ You'll earn HUGE brownie points
with the wife.  Plus, my Mom owns/runs the joint<g>

The other romantic stop on the way, is Niagra on the Lake.

Coming through Canada is really not such a big scary proposition.  You'll
find almost 100% of the places you stop at will take American cash, and your
bank or credit cards will work as well.  So will your cell.

The only other thing I'd take into consideration is trying to avoid passing
through Toronto at rush hour.  Other than that, you'll be laughin'!

Regards,
Joel

Port Huron is much better than coming into Detroit.  It will also be closer
to the convention as you come down I-94 to M-59 to Van Dyke.  If you think
gas prices are high in the U.S. they are a dollar a gallon higher in Canada!
I'd take the N.Y. Thruway to Buffalo and I-190 north to Niagra Falls, get
gas there and enter Canada at Lewiston.  You don't want to buy gas in
Canada.  There is a good rest stop on 401 near Ingersoll, Ontario and they
take U.S. money if you need to buy food. Clark Hartzel

Hey Guys,

Thanks for all the replies.

Just to clear things up more... I am coming from New
Haven, CT. Planning on going through upstate NY,
Lewiston, NY sounds like a good way to get in to
Canada. Just bringing my Brier and wife.... maybe I'll
keep the t shirt for Canada.

For Detroit, I know about the Ambassador Bridge and
tunnel... is Port Huron really out of the way?

Are there any other options ?

Jim Forgey

PS - Lonzo - I'll go with the t-shirt Bong :-)
