I have often asked myself, what really differentiates a classic Canadian “road trip” from overland adventure? Does the distance have a threshold, say 5,000 kilometres? Okay, maybe 7,000? Or, is it the road conditions, pavement, versus gravel, or a mix of both? Is it the distinctiveness of the geographic area covered, the Canadian Prairies, or the Ontario Shield or the villages littering lake-abundant countryside of Quebec?
