I need to get a mirror and strap it on to our stub. We have too much stuff in the car to just run blind on the one side. Right now, only the driver side mirror is functional in that regard.
23 Civic Type-R / 22 MDX Type-S / 21 Tesla Y LR / 03 Montero Ltd
Trip totals: 3 windows, 1 mirror, 5,560 miles, 27.56 mpg, and $3.91 per gallon.
Some visuals....

Final sunset in Oregon (from lookout on I-84 near the top of Cabbage Hill)

Next to our campsite outside of Dease Lake (BC)
Grizzly family last night, next to Congdon Creek Campground along Kluane Lake (YT)
Sure would be nice to get out on the road away from local "drivers".
PS
Sounds like a fun trip.

We do have a roof basket and bag, but I have used them rarely since buying the tray. With top unit, our average economy would be about 22.5 on a trip like this. We managed 28.5!
6 MPG on a long trip through Alaska and Canada is a significant savings. As well as range between gas stops. When and if you sell the Q7, you should test drive the GMC Terrain or Chevy Equinox diesels. 40 MPG is common road trip mileage.
Good question for the Buick management regarding keyless start not being available. Perhaps market research dictated 75 year-olds didn't want push-button start? I know, the average age of a Buick buyer is falling lately.
Has nothing to do with that... our 2012 Lacrosse had it. I’m sure the bean counters at GM didn’t want to invest in adding it to an aging platform. The Tahoe and Yukon were the same way. They didn’t get keyless until the redesign.
Heck our fully loaded 2013 Tahoe LTZ at work doesn’t have Bluetooth connectivity. I’m sure that ticked off many a buyer at that price point.

If you're taking a trip to Seattle this summer, be careful in your loud car - but distracted driving, no signal use, dumb lane usage, idiotic U-turns, ignoring crosswalks, etc are all still OK.
Being June, it is Lane courtesy month!

The eco nuts aren't the LLCs you'll encounter on road trips here, it seems to be mostly distracted "drivers" and stubborn fuddy duddy types.
Down deep, I already knew I passed more people on the right than left, but............ this confirms it scientifically.

The new Regal at the auto show was a big disappointment on the interior. GM seems to get it 80% there and then just gives up on the 20% that really matters.
The dash/interior in the Sonic was nicer than the dash for the Regal.
Tacoma was a mess, Olympia was worse than normal, oddly enough, 405 wasn't bad. Saw a few LLCs, including one old fart in a bumper sticker-covered Element who gave me the finger and brights when I passed on the right (others also had to do so). Funny thing, I kept an eye on him, and he exited less than a mile over - had no business being in the left lane to begin with.

This morning I got up early and took the old car in for its yearly service, and was promptly cut off by a bumbling CRV within 5 minutes. I tested the horn numerous times. Something about those cars is a magnet for those who dislike driving and cars both.
I'jm already planning another one of these roadtrips to MN, maybe via San Jose CA next time. #2 grandchild is due to arrive in MN in 6 days so my next roadtrip could be Very Soon. Might take Chevy SS Sedan next time with both sizes of spare tires and zero spare wheels on board.. SS gets 25 mpg cross-country with regular E0 unleaded, as opposed to the 50+ mpg with Chevy Cruze & B0 or B5. In terms of torque surprising/destroying other drivers I think the red diesel cruze is way more STEALTH than the white SS Sedan, which appears unusual and cop-like to other drivers, based on their reaction. (The stealth is very handy to squeeze past the "blockers" who block the left or middle lane so as to optimize their texting experience.)
I have made only one stop in Rochester, to visit a friend who was going through an experimental cancer treatment, a few days after my marriage back in 2000.

xwesx, higher mpg at the lower speed, to be sure. .
I'm planning another driving circuit of USA before winter... It will include Rochester MN. San Jose California. Maybe meteor crater. Maybe Seattle.
ROAD TRIP!!!!!
And, bummer about that economy vs. speed observation. I was almost excited about your report!
