Yes, I checked with Derek Drew on how long that trip would take (he
did it before the road to Goose Bay/Happy Valley was completed). This
would likely take 3 weeks to do with a non-forced pace.

BTW, The province has committed to building the road between
Cartwright and Happy Valley to be completed by 2010.

I will definitely be interested in such a trip...
