Southbound signage along Highway 71 for
Ontario's segment of 'The Great River Road.' In America, the Great River
Road is a tourist route that follows the shores of the Mississippi River.
Seeing as even the northern most of tributaries feeding the Mississippi
River are found at least a hundred kilomtres south of Ontario, this
designation
seems a little out of place.
