I haven't flown it (yet), but I've driven it half a dozen times. Driving is
pretty close to the same deal. The further north you go, the less anybody thinks of you
simply pulling off alongside the road in a gravel pit to spend the night. Of course, the
provincial campsites are generally really good an inexpensive.

I *will* fly up sometime. I just can't afford the time right now.
