Hornepayne is due north of Sault Ste.Marie Michigan and Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario about 250 miles. That takes you north of Lake Superior on a dirt highway #631 between Hwy.#11 (the Trans Canada Highway which starts at Lake Ontario in Toronto is called Yonge St. - the longest road in the world!)
and Hwy.#17. It's up in the "bush" as Northern Ontario folks call it. Having driven every god-forsaken road and rode several railway cars in Northern Ontario all my life as a kid following my gold mining
grandfather around I can vouch for the serenity and beauty of the land and it's lakes. The Northern Lights are clearly visible and the fishin is great! Gord would have taken Hwy.400 from Toronto, to Hwy.#69, bypassing Orillia if he was in a hurry, rounding Georgian Bay, north to Sudbury (nickel mining) and west across 17 to Sault Ste. Marie. Head north around Lake Superior for about 200 miles and hang a right on 631 right to Hornepayne!.
Hope that helps! He also could have rented a small plane!!
