I saw the oil sands mines profiled on the National Geographic Channel and I told the wife, "Let's go!" Actually, it was a compromise. She said, "I'll endure your tour of the oil sands, if you take me to Jasper National Park in Alberta." The tours of the mines are run by the oil industry, so you take their comments with a grain of salt, but it was still interesting. Eight days and 4,000 miles of driving really takes its toll. I would do it again, but not until the gas prices come down.
