Have to agree with Cindy that going over the top of Lake Superior through Ontario would be a beautiful drive it will add a lot of time to the drive. I'd suggest this:
- if you live north of (or near) the New York/Pennsylvania border zip through southern Ontario into Michigan (reenter the US at Point Edward/Port Huron), take I-69 to Flint and then catch I-75 north. After crossing the Mackinaw Bridge jump on US Hwy 2 and ride it through the Upper Peninsula, Wisconsin and Minnesota to Grand Forks, ND. Then take I-29 north to the border and Hwy 75 to Winnipeg. The rest is easy from there. This route will take you through some beautiful country (not all 4 lane freeways either) and it avoids Chicago. (an alternate would be to zig-zag through North Dakota from Grand Forks, cross the border in the middle of no-where, and return to civilization at Regina)
- if you live south of the New York/Pennsylvania border or south and east of Lake Erie and want to avoid Chicago swing around the west end of Lake Erie, head north through Ann Arbor to Flint and follow the rest of the route above.
- if you live farther south into the east coast the route above will probably be a bit out of the way. There are other options to the west for avoiding Chicago (can you tell I'm not a fan of the Chicago area - getting around or thru the Minneapolis/St Paul metro area is no picnic either during construction season).
Haven't paid attention to how the US/Canadian exchange rate has been doing lately but be aware that north of the border petrol is sold by the liter so don't be shocked when the numbers on the pump appear to be zinging by in a blur!
