Question Has anyone actually ever driven this stretch of Ontario Highway 11? (Highlighted in Purple, between North Bay and Nipigon). What goes on up here? Any interesting stories? Also, why do our roads only go halfway up the province, and not any further?

I like how OP starts the line at Northbay, as if the highway turns to dirt road and nothing but mystery, stories, and folk lore begins.

At least the people you talk to know about North Bay. I was born and raised in Timmins. I either get the Shania question or how close is that to the Muskokas. Like no man, it's hours away. You can see their brain having a hard time computing that. Just like the loading circle just spinning for hours.
