Is it better to take hwy 11 or this crazy ass route along the 144?
I figured there's enough North people on here to give me a decent answer.
Thx.
144 is pretty bad. lotta truckers, no shoulder. 1 gas station in between. Lots of moose. Better to take hwy 17 east and then go north on hwy 64. Then take hwy 11 north. Then go 101 east to Timmins.
That's what I figured.
Thanks Oscar.
Yup, I second what Oscar says. 144 is pretty much a provincially-ignored deathtrap.
Definitely take HWY 17 to 64... and stop in Eliot lake to admire the scenery... amazing area up there.
enjoy the drive..
gonna swing by the hydro dam if we have time. took 144 afterall.
