Is it better to take hwy 11 or this crazy ass route along the 144?
I figured there's enough North people on here to give me a decent answer.

Thx.

144 is pretty bad. lotta truckers, no shoulder. 1 gas station in between. Lots of moose. Better to take hwy 17 east and then go north on hwy 64. Then take hwy 11 north. Then go 101 east to Timmins.

Yup, I second what Oscar says. 144 is pretty much a provincially-ignored deathtrap.

33" BFG Mud-Terrain KM2s, lots of Rough Country gear - bumper, 2.5" lift, swaybar disconnects, Superwinch 10,000lb winch, Detroit Locker in rear D44 axle, custom exhaust, K+N filtercharger, Superchips-tuned.

Daily driver 2: 2006 Subaru Legacy GT

COBB Stage 1+ package - AccessPort tuner, COBB intake and airbox. Stage 2 coming shortly - COBB 3" AT stainless DP and race cat, custom 3" Magnaflow-based exhaust and Stage 2 COBB tune.
