Just a PS:
The half-way point between Halifax and Anchorage is about at the border between Ontario and Manitoba. The amount of mileage (what you have to ride, not what the crow flies) around the top of the Great Lakes will surprise you.
The area North of Superior (from Sault Ste. Marie to the Manitoba border) will be the riskiest part of the voyage from a temperature point of view. The shoreline ice doesn't melt from Lake Superior until well into May.
