SH> Hello All!

 SH> I got back ten days ago from one of my madcap drives.  I had a conference
 SH> to attend in Regina, Saskatchewan, and decided that it would be just as
 SH> easy to drive as it would have been to fly.  Not quite as I covered some
 SH> 5500 km (just under 3500 miles) in 6 days but my Honda Accord covered the
 SH> distance with aplomb and I saw a lot of gorgeous country while the colours
 SH> were changing.  I also saw a fair number of buffalo, caribou, Stone sheep,
 SH> elk and deer.

And I who thought I was mad driving 1 050 km to visit friends up north on one
day.
But I didn't see any animals but very nice colour-change in the nature.

 SH> So what does all this prove other than my wife's conclusion that I must be
 SH> mad?  The Alaska (Alcan) Highway has become amazingly good road, at least
 SH> from Whitehorse to Dawson Creek (1430 km or 890 miles).  There really
 SH> isn't much of an excuse not to visit.

Here it's just to follow E4 that goes from Denmark through Stockholm all the
way up to the border to Finland.
