The camera used for it allowed one (or two) second exposures. It took
several attempts (over a 30 second period) for the French translation to
become semi-readable. As luck had it, a large heap of snow covered the
words " Bienvenue", "à" and " Colombie" on the sign.

I've never done anything too drastic except pulling over, getting out,
and taking a picture, but that pales in comparison to Jim running
across IH 84.

I've run across my fair share of highways. One time I forgot something

Where is the most dangerous place you have gone with a camera? This guy
is crazy!

How far would you go? wow

For me, it has to be the British-Columbia-Alberta border... With no
shoulder available on the side of the road (due to snow), I literally
stopped the vehicle on TransCanada 1 to snap this photo:

For health-hazard reasons, the Mount Blanc Tunnel
(http://hwy-shields.calrog.com/it-t1_4.html) is my runner-up. The exhaust
fumes inside were pretty strong! The location of this shot is not terribly
far from the French border.

Norm didn't state he was necessarily crossing at Detroit. In fact,
most Michiganders know it's usually preferable to cross at the Blue
Water Bridges in Port Huron-Sarnia and taking Hwy 402 east to London

Interesting, he never stated that he wasn't going through Detroit .

No, in *opinion* most Michiganders know it's usually preferable to cross at
the Blue Water bridges.

If driving on Saturday, expect heavy, somewhat flowing traffic at the
ON-403/ON-407/QEW interchange.
It really depends on the time you hit the Freeman Interchange and if
there are other factors involved (accidents, weather, etc.). He'll be
heading eastbound into the interchange around 9am, which on Friday will
be after most of the morning rush and on Saturday shouldn't be an issue.

Saturday was an issue when I traveled there, so it shows that it could be an
issue. Clear skies and in the afternoon. All based on experience and
empirical observation!

Stay tuned for new photographs of Michigan and
Ontario on Pictures of Highway Shields.

Cheers,

I would add that the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge (y'all are missing half
of its correct name!)

Indulge me please. I have a weird facination with this topic:

James Bay Cree promote road to northern Quebec
Link to south could bring lower prices, other economic benefits
JANE GEORGE

Within 10 years, you may be able to drive from Nunavik all the way to
Montreal.

But with the price tag for a road south from Kuujjuaq estimated at $1
billion, the idea of building a less expensive and shorter road for

$250 million to the start of Quebec's road network in La Grande from
the twin Inuit and Cree communities of Great Whale is gaining momentum.

C'est assez cher; mais si on peut traverser une bonne route sans
problèmes d'une route avec les graviers, on peut trouver un meilleur
àccès en route à la baie Hudson!
