The last time Terry and I returned home from Toronto, we took a quieter route, which is a little shorter - but not necessarily faster - than our usual route - highway 401 (with short excursions onto highway 2, so get a view of the St. Lawrence River).
We hadn't taken highway 7, through Tweed, in a long time.
Years, I think...
What changes would we see?!
We passed Tweed's tiny historic jail... No change there!
The biggest deterrent on this quiet highway is not being able to pass slower vehicles for long stretches at a time.
That problem didn't happen - but a dozen cars did get caught up (with us) behind two extra wide loads - two halves of a large prefabricated building. So there was no passing at all! But the whole convoy did manage to maintain a reasonable clip.
Near Perth, the wide-load vehicles turned in at a truck weigh station and our convoy quickly dispersed.
An interesting, peaceful drive home.
