Saturday Route:


Assuming we all leave with a full tank of gas,
1st gas stop is Coboconk on Hwy. 35- 123kms.
Lunch and second gas stop is Bracebridge @ Crabby Joe's- 122kms
then back to motel 105kms.

Sunday Route:


Assuming we all leave with a full tank of gas:-)
1st stop is short. 84.9 kms. Address is 3988 Ontario 60, Lake of Bays, Ontario There is a general store there. It is basically a rest stop to stretch and gas up is optional. Our original 1st gas stop is 159kms. and that might be too far on bad backs and bladders.

2nd stop is in Algonquin Park at the rest stop at the Lake of 2 rivers. It is 48 kms or so from the first gas stop, but it's a nice spot. No gas, just a photo op or take in the beauty of the park. Parking lot is big and paved. Washrooms are available, I think.

3rd is lunch and gas stop in Whitney at the Mad Musher. 159kms. from Haliburton or 74.5 kms. from the first rest stop.

4th stop is Maynooth for gas 101kms.
then back to motel 72.2 kms.

For our American friends. You can convert kilometers to miles. When opening up the google link, in the cloumn on the left where it says "Get Directions" click on the "show optoins" and click Miles.

There still maybe some alterations made to these routes depending on how the roads are when we do the final run before the rally. Hopefully there won't be any unforseen construction.

Enjoy,
Wayne

This is another in the long line of screwed up posts. I had noticed that I had reversed the routes. Just so there is less confusion than what already exists, I am reposting them in there proper place.

Need some Canadian advice on the most interesting route from Wolf Island/Kingston to Haliburton please. I could zig and zag my way there, but some local pointers would be appreciated.

Yep, I came up with pretty much what hamjam talked about. Should work out fine. Was in Napanee/Hay Bay last year. Just gotta keep going a few more miles..

Hi Dean,
I would go with HamJam's first route.
I am stuck with fighting my way out of Toronto with the "great Unwashed"
in cages. I will definitely need a beer by the time I get to Haliburton

can be many miles between gas stations.
