Would that be somewhere around Geraldton or Long Lac? I used to work in
many towns up north, as far as Armstrong. It used to take me about 14
hours to drive from Geralton to Oakville. ~800 miles. I'd leave
Geraldton around 6 or 6:30 AM and stop for gas & lunch at Iroquois
Falls and dinner at North Bay, getting to Oakville around 8 or 9. I
could make that trip on 2 fllls of the 13 gallon tank in my '72 Hornet
BTW, back in those days, there was one traffic light, when passing
through Kapuskasing. If it was green when I went through, my wheels
didn't stop rolling from Geralton, until Iroquois Falls.
It also amazes me when people refer to Barrie or Orillia as "Northern
Ontario".
BTW, Armstrong is up past the north west corner of Lake Nipigon, about
250 Km north of Thunder Bay. It's way up past Steeles! ;-)

I know the feeling, working at a job well below what I'm capable of,
because of lack of suitable positions in the communications and IT
industries.
