[JONAT] RE: JONAT - San Francisco

Urban areas will not be a concern in most Canadian sectors east of
Vancouver and west of Toronto. I work in the city and curse if I have to
wait through two light changes to turn onto Hwy 8 to head home at 5 pm.  
What morning rush hour there is is over long before 8:30. Farming people -
up at dawn.  The problem with Day 2 is a LACK of urban areas. We have to
travel from Winnipeg to Fort Frances in one day since the only place in
between to stop is Kenora and it is only 3 hours from Winnipeg.   I think
an 8:30 start would make a more comfortable day since travel could be more
leisurely. OTOH, it will be light until 10pm.
