I have made the drive from Minneapolis to Edmonton.
It is boring. Saskatchewan is flat as all get out.
22hours total and the most exciting part is Fargo.

22hours total and the most exciting part is Fargo. Yeah, when I said, "won't be quite as scenic" that was my grossly understated way of saying "boring as hell, but I'm considering the drive anyway." I flew to Ft Lauderdale for a little more than 24 hours, so as long as I can watch the game, scenery is sort of irrelevant.

I'd still rather drive to Canada than the equal time drive down to San Antonio.
20 hours is a bitch either way.

20 hours is tough. I can do a 16-hour drive in one day, but 20 is past my driving limit. I can drive all day, but hate driving in the dark.

20 is doable for me.
I'd happily take 3 others with me.

That's my thought as well. My roadtrip limit in a day is more like ten hours. Plus I won't have much time off to devote to this. So... do we think we have enough interested in that Edmonton trip to start doing some planning?
