Today we had an even longer ride, 854 km = 530 miles. And we had to negotiate our way around Edmonton and Calgary to get to Lethbridge in southern Alberta. The good highway on this day helped us do the trip in 8 1/2 hours. The weather was sunny and warmer as we went south.
I have not been good at navigating some of the roads in Canada because the signage can be misleading or absent or not placed in a good spot.
Example: to find a rest area and visitor center, the sign was 2 km from the exit, then at the exit the road split for left and right turns. The sign for the visitor center was small with two other destinations on it and placed right where the road split. Good luck being in the correct lane. Following the arrow over the highway on a local road, the next sign directed us back on the main highway ramp going in the opposite direction for 2 km to the visitor center. If you do that you're going the way back and have to u-turn at the next exit, wherever that may be. We didn't bother.
When we first came into Canada back in June, the same thing happened at a different exit and Ernie had to get the 5th-wheel RV back around to get us going the right way and we never did find the rest area.
