Ok, so pretty much my first post here...first one that's gonna lead anywhere, anyways :P

...so I've come across some paid time off work that I still haven't used, and I'm trying to come up with some sort of epic trip to use it up...sadly, that won't happen 'till spring, but winter driving (and partially in Canada) isn't the best anyways...being from Winterpeg, I know that firsthand.

Anyways, I'm planning to possibly do a full lap of America this coming spring (well, possibly going through BC/AB/SK on the way back as opposed to south of the 49th), and I'm looking for suggestions from anyone and everyone here as to places to see, things to go out of my way for, and little 'gotchas' that might pop up on a trip of this magnitude.

The trip would start/end in Winnipeg, MB, and the route is pretty much open from there, as long as I get the full lap in. Total time available to me is pretty much three weeks...more if crew scheduling is nice to me, but you never know how busy the northern air travel agenda is going to be around spring time, especially with winter roads up there starting to thaw out...so time MAY be limited to just the three weeks that I know I have available to me. Still, side trip recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Alrightie, enough of my rambling. Have at 'er, guys, and (in advance) thanks for all the suggestions and tips!
