Tomorrow's route has a similar "shortcut", getting off of the Trans-Canada Highway for about 100 miles and back on. Why???? Not another gravel road I hope! We'll just stay on the highway, thank you very much!

Weird routing today.
Google took us on a "shortcut" for 40-50 kilometers along a
gravel road at 90 km/hour (55 mph) -- exciting!
Also, very noisy, bumpy, and dusty!
Notice all the black pieces of shredded tire all over the place.
I had to swerve quite a bit to dodge them, which make it hard to stay in
the existing ruts, and not risk wiping out or scraping bottom on the ridge
of gravel down the middle of the lane.
Fortunately, we made it without a blowout or any serious tire damage.
