Nice write up and pics. Thanks for sharing. I live up here. Roads are in a grid pattern. There are countless options for avoiding 48. I avoid it like the plague; too much traffic and hundreds of gravel trucks. You can zig zag up or down the back roads and enjoy some beautiful rural scenery devoid of traffic. Happy to judge pierogis any time, but I'm partial to fried.Going through the Georgina area was a bit of a PITA. Lots of people using HWY 48 to get to HWY 404. Also, heading west with the sun coming down making it a little difficult but manageable with a tinted visor.
