Retired Civil Engineer and Cross-Country Road Trip Veteran. Gordon is the authority on trans-continental driving, vehicle maintenance, and the hidden gems of the Prairies and Maritimes.
After 35 years supervising infrastructure projects across Canada, Gordon MacNeil now dedicates his retirement to exploring the country by road. He holds an encyclopedic knowledge of Canada’s highway systems, from the fog-laden roads of the Cabot Trail to the endless straightaways of Saskatchewan. He specializes in the mechanics of road tripping: towing safety, fuel management in remote areas, and the engineering history behind vanishing icons like wooden grain elevators and lighthouses. Gordon’s advice is practical and safety-first, helping families navigate the realities of "gas math," tidal changes in the Bay of Fundy, and long-haul driving fatigue.
