Well, MapBlast lists a drive of 33:40 from St. John's to Lansing (which was the only city in Michigan near Sparteye that I could recall). Too bad they didn't take into account the six-hour ferry ride to the mainland! (Let's see, 185 km at 100 km/h = 1:51 - if you're driving a car across the Gulf of St. Lawrence!!!!!.)
I also noticed that MapBlast assumed a mean speed of 110 km/h = about 70 mph. (Here the speed limit is usually 100 km/h, not 110km/h.) You would be hard-pressed to actually maintain such a speed on the backroads of Newfoundland - oh, I mean the TransCanada Highway - no, wait, they are one and the same!
*Not that I'm complaining about the distance - which is a lot farther for some of the others here - but I guess MapBlast's opinion of the trip was just amusing!
