Drivers are facing record-high gas prices this year, but that isn’t stopping travelers like Jacob Becker from hitting the road.
The 21-year-old from Des Moines, Iowa, tries to do a major outing at least once a year. Last year’s road trip to Canada was canceled after Becker contracted COVID-19, and he was determined to not let another slip by. So despite the pain at the pump, Becker and a friend traveled more than 1,000 miles to Montreal in May.
