I know how long it takes to drive from here (central Minnesota) to Edmonton, and all I can say is...why didn't you announce this last week?!?
It is impossible to get there from here in that amount of time. Last time I left on July 9, and I didn't get to Calgary (Banff) until about the 13th. So....not enough time to drive.
What were you driving, a Vanagon? I've driven from New York to Denver (about the same distance as
Ohio to Edmonton, according to Google Maps) in two days. (I drove
back, overnight, in a
blizzard.) It's not that difficult.
Granted, if you're the type who falls asleep at the wheel, I could see this being problematic, but even the longest, boringist drive doesn't put me to sleep. Maybe I should get a job as a long haul driver or something.
I suspect they didn't announce it earlier because they're not equipped to handle masses of people, and given the response some people really would drive six or eight hours (or more!) to be there.
