Canada to Newfoundland
Am thinking of cruising up the Mississippi valley and crossing into Canada at International Falls. Maybe fish a little at Lake of the Woods, then turning east to St. Johns, Ne.

Hey Snarvol, I live in Cape Breton - not far from the Cabot Trail (I ride it a few times a year) and have driven all over the Martime region and can provide lots of great places to check out on your way up if you like. You will love it up here. You can watch for whales from the highway on the Cabot Trail, watch for moose crossing the road and gat all the great beer and the only "single malt whiskey" brewed in North America. PM me for more details and I will be happy to send you lots of stuff.

Everything needs to be seen!!
Like I say, everything needs to be seen if you plan on travelling to the beautiful east coast of Canada!!
If you plan on going from International Falls, it's a very long ride(or drive) about 3 days at least to eastern Nova Scotia and then there's a boat ride to Newfoundland and onward to St John's after you get " On the Rock"!!
I did a 21 day ride on my Harley in 2007 from Toronto to St. John's and many points in between and had a trip of a lifetime, travelling 11,000klm(6,000+miles).
Like the other people mentioned, if you need extra guidance ...just drop an e-mail.
From Arizonia, you'll need about 2 months on the road to see everything! Ride(drive) safe!!

BayBones, I'll take you up on that. And I keep a jug of Glenlivet to sip with friends. Will look forward to your single malt
Per The Canuk I will plan to be in the area in July and spend a couple of weeks between there and Newfoundland before heading back. A fellow I worked with in the oil patch is with a mining outfit in northern Newf. and will try to look him up. Other than that...no firm plans yet.
HarleyB, the ride is as long as you make it. If it all works out this'll be a nice 2 month putt. I can always use extra guidence. Thanks for the offer. Drop me a PM, we can go from there.

If you're going to the rock
then don't forget to make reservations for the ferry. Get yourself a room because it's a long ride.
