DSC01230 - Adventure....
PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks.
In the mid-1940s, Canadians rarely used their cars for vacations. Gravel roads were rough, and paved roads were few and far between. But by the time the Trans-Canada Highway was officially opened in 1962, the country had doubled its paved roads. A new love affair with road trips blossomed.
As automobile prices went down in the 1920s, more Canadians hit the open road. Having a car meant you were no longer restricted to train or boat schedules and their set destinations. It was just you, a map, and your sense of adventure.
Thomas Wilby & Jack Haney, 1912, a travel writer and his driver who made the first journey across Canada by automobile.
