[QUOTE="Data, post: 1286660, member: 49547"] Question for the northern locals- I am thinking about riding up through Sault Ste Marie and taking 17 east to Pembroke. I don't know anything about this area (so laugh all you want) - do I need to worry about bears and moose and other large critters on the highway ? I mean, if you stop along the road to eat a snack, will hungry bears show up ? If I have never had to worry about anything meaner than a doberman in the road- should I just play it safe and go via Toronto and stay out of the north woods ? Laugh away- but it's a serious question- I am taking the wife and we would like to take a scenic route and avoid the Toronto traffic mess- but neither of us much wants to wrestle a grizzly bear. This would be much less of a concern if we could be heavily armed in Canada, as we are at home, because for some reason we can't take that stuff across the border, and we won't have that sense of security . . . blah, blah, blah Also, if one chooses to ride through the north woods on highway 17- is it recommended to carry bear repellent spray ? It's really a concern- so in between all the jokes and abuse, can someone (who knows what they are talking about) give me a reasonable answer ? Pretty please . . . . [/QUOTE]
