Yeah but you got to take into account that the Mini has got about a 600Km with +/-50Km range. So at speed we eat up more gas, also in the summer, the bugs are horible. We may have to have support vehicles with us with Gas Cans just in case. Also at those gas stations expect to pay a good amount, and at some places credit cards might not be taken. This is something that is do able, but got to be planned.

K, I sense more then a passing interest here

a) it is VERY doable. See my site for my last trip.
b) there is civilation all the way to Matagami, and a little past that actually. We showed up after midnight and still filled the tank.



In fact, for those interested, you pass thru Quebec's gold mining region, as well as the ski areas. Gas all the way.
c) half way up the James Bay Rd is civilation. Food, gas, Cree Indians:



A company gas, I think truckers lodging, and a restaurant, etc. There is gas at the other end too. This is the top of the road:



It's in the middle that there is naught.I recall the gas not being overly more expensive. Company town, so they zing the works a bit, but they don;t screw them.
d) good old American coin of the realm is taken everywhere. Oh, and cash too.
