Several years ago, a guy working for the same advisor I was decided that, after getting his Master’s, he’d drive all the way to Tierra del Fuego. He did it, but only by taking his car on a boat around the infamous gap noted in above posts. Nevertheless, he was able to get all the way down – he just had to take a really big “ferry ride” in the middle.
I agree. There are islands to the west of Key West, FL that are still a part of Florida that can’t be reached by car.
It would be like saying that it is impossible to drive across the state of Florida.
Nope. Have a look at a map. The portion of Quebec to which I refer is the primary land mass of that province, and is a significant part of mainland Canada. Labrador, to which I refer, is also a significant part of mainland Canada. I have not been refering to either islands or to minor protrusions.
What a coincidence - I watched the old Tony Curtis/Nathalie Wood/Jack Lemmon/Peter Falk comedy The Great Race just this weekend (my daughter had never seen it). Best pie fight in movies.
“Max - the cannon!”
But you can drive to Labrador and Quebec, just not to the coast of Labrador.
The coast of Labrador is where most of Labrador’s communities are, and where most of Labrador’s road network is. There are only a handful of communities in the interior,
Yes, one can drive to the eastern end of Quebec, but only from these self-same coastal Labrador communities which themselves are part of a road network that does not connect to the rest of Canada.
You could a put a treadmill on a boat and run it at the speed that the boat is going. That way you could “drive” through the gap. Maybe you could even power the boat from generators hooked up to the car. Would that count?
Better yet, apparently there are plans to complete the road across the Lower North Shore in a few years. So he won’t even have to make a detour through Labrador.
Right now, the gaps in this road seem to be filled with ferries.
