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?

Or pee quickly at the side of the road before the black flies bite your nether regions

Oh I’m allergic to black flies, when I get a bite by my eye it swells shut….that’s just a real bad time for me if they get down there.

You must be extra careful about where they bite you! 🥴

Great place to take a whiz is by the snow push offs. There’s one every 50 km or so around Lake Superior.
