Summary: Driving the TCH

Driving the TCH
I had no appreciation for how big Canada was nor for how enormous my undertaking would be. There were challenges along the way and it was cold but it was a great trip that I’ll remember forever.

I’m about to head out again and my return may be along Canada’s Yellowhead Highway. This reminded me of another trip I took across Canada along the world’s longest national road, the Trans-Canada Highway. This amazingly long road runs from Victoria, BC in the west to St. John’s, NL for a total distance of 4,860 miles. Funny trivia? Each end has a marker which identifies itself as “Mile 0” … neither wanted to be the end of the TCH! See below:

My approach to blogging this trip was different. My only entries were video logs in the form of short videos targeted at Beth, Courtney and Kelsey who always support my desire to travel. In each major city I had planned a walking tour and a video. My videos are pulled together on this site.

OK, there’s entirely too much “Travis” on this page so if you didn’t click at the last opportunity I gave you then please click here now to see the videos.

BTW, below is a picture at the TCH halfway point near Batchwana Bay.
