| Publisher Description: Join Pete and Donna Cramp as they drive across Canada, visiting fascinating places along the way. Driving a pickup truck towing a 27 foot trailer for the first time, they follow the Trans-Canada Highway through Northern Ontario, across the praries to Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta. From there, they turned north through the Rocky Mountains to Jasper, and then up the Alaska Highway to Whitehorse and Dawson City, Yukon. Come explore the Paddlewheel Graveyard, the Top of the World Highway, and Tombestone Territorial Park. Amply documented through stunning photography, the trip is kept real with an easy narrative style with a wry humor. Experience the drama as they fight prairie winds, sleep in truck stops, and almost run out of gas - twice Feel the fear and heartbreak as they blow a tire in the mountains, crush an iPad with their truck, and discover a fear of heights - on top of a mountain. It's not a tour guide. It's an adventure There's even a convenient chart showing the distance traveled, and the fuel consumed. Even the cost of fuel. |
