    I don’t think you can drive that far without a change in the terrain. It wouldn’t be green fields all the way. It certainly wouldn’t work if you went east; you’d get into that rocky bit near Kingston and Napanee.
    Does anyone think that a motorist heading west on the 401 would have green fields as her companions for 300 straight kilometers? I never head out that way for obvious reasons.

    This is the part of the 401 between Trenton and Brighton, which is in a wormhole anchored in Saskatchewan.

    It’s actually Woodstock to Windsor … green fields all the way. Tobacco country. There are a lot of accidents on the stretch near Chatham because the landscape is so empty, people drift off.

    Woodstock to Windsor is hardly tobacco country and there are fewer accidents since MTO installed paved shoulders and rumble strips.

    There’s plenty of gas stations and fast food restaurants on the 401 other than the rest stops; there’s big signs at exits showing where they are. They’re usually better than the on-highway rest stops anyway.

    Chill out, my lovelies! My future mother-in-law, who has the utmost integrity, used to work in tobacco fields in that region. I can attest that there certainly was, at least for a while, a buttload of tobacco growing in those parts.
    Do you know what? She remains an avid gardener to this day!
