We want to bring some temple rubbings back from Florida. Instead of getting them shipped, I think I could drive to Florida, build a box to fit the temple rubbings, strap it on top of the Murano, and then drive home. Seems like a plan.

Route Going East then South
I have recently done two drives from Saskatoon, passing through St. Louis/Nashville. The optimum route for driving to Florida overlaps with this route a great deal. Therefore, I want to do something different. (click on the More options to see more details)

Return Route Going North then West
This route has us going north through the Carolina’s, then turning west. Once past Chicago, we can opt to continue west though the SD Badlands, then head north. Or we can take the shorter route and just head “straight” for Saskatoon. (click on the More options to see more details)
