Highway of Death

The only road that leads to Fort McMurray from civilization is Highway 63 (from Edmonton).  Many of the locals call it 'Highway of Death' because of the fatalities.  It is a one lane road with a speed limit of 100 kmh (~70mph).  We saw a truck pass us doing about 150 kmh on a solid line and managed to just miss a mac truck.  They were pulled over by the only RCMP I have ever seen on the road.  4.5 hours to get to Edmonton.
