rjr54 Champion Author Winnipeg Posts:1,105 Points:393,320 Joined:Feb 2005	Message Posted: Oct 17, 2008 7:42:25 PM Ignore rjr54 Report Abuse Funny thing happened this summer . . . I borrowed a GPS. And it indicated that the shortest route was only 5 minutes longer than the fastest route (for 1000 Km). So we went the short way. And it was great, less traffic, more scenery, leisurely pace. I would recommend it to anyone.
