Best Western Dawson Creek Inn

... in a township campground that ignored the across BC fire ban -- Alberta steak cooked on a BC grill was scrumptious. Moved on the following morning after a sleep-in caused by rain -- everything was wet or damp by the time we were packed.

Moseyed on towards Fort St John where we used the internet and headed promptly to our last campground in BC that had a neat ...

... style of RV park but they did have wifi.....it just didn't work!
7/22/09........On the road at 7:30. This is going to be a wonderful ride that winds around Muncho Lake, known for it's beautiful deep green and blue waters. "It's 7 miles/11 km in length, and 1 mile/1.6 km in width; elevation is 2,680 feet/817m. The colours are attributed to copper oxide leaching into the lake. Deepest point has been reported to be 730 feet/223m, although ...

... here on our way up. It is on the Sikanni river and I really liked it. It had been raining so it was pretty muddy.

Monday: We got as far as Dawson Creek and decided to stay here. Fred & Bill got a hair cut but I refused to pay the price to get mine cut. We are staying at Mile O campground. Tomorrow we are going to an Antique Village beside the campground. It was rainy most of the day and a high of 52 deg. The lady here at the ...

... as well. My job is outside. I try to keep an eye on every angle of the rig and give hand signals to Art...mostly the one fingered variety.

We got out of the spot without hurting anything and headed out to the main road. I was certain that we were supposed to turn right on the main highway, but the GPS told us to turn left. In the wilderness, the GPS signal has been iffy, but Art turned left anyway. Of course, immediately the GPS told ...

... shore up and protect the sovereignty of North America after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. The road was built in a little over eight months, which took 11,000 military and 16,000 civilian from the U.S. and Canada. These men worked against some of the toughest and most unforgiving wilderness areas in the World. We learn how the highway changed the ...

Hurray--Mile "0"--the beginning of our trek on the Alaska Highway. When picturing Alaska, "cold" usually comes to mind; and it is!--low 31; high 55.

Enjoyed seeing the Pioneer Village even though it was freezing cold--started to snow. Stayed an extra day because of heavy snow up the road.

... I need to be more wary of when the tank gets below half full, especially in the days ahead as I get further and further from civilization. There were many trucks on the road today loaded with cut logs. They don't waste any time. I had a hard time catching one to photograph. One of the last things I saw in Alberta was this massive dumpster that was being transported somewhere. I makes me realize how big things can be made... I finally ...

... of a yip (at least it wasn't a snake, the yip would have been a scream). The funny thing here is, my dad, as i have said before, we have a tendancy to crack jokes at each others expense, well that has been occuring lately. Mom in her younger days used to be referred to as the strawberry blonde. Well, we are totally convinced that she IS blonde. To quote dad, "if it doesn't have anything to do with geo-caching, she doesn't have a clue". She pulls into the hotel parking lot, he ...

... si ce n'est le Mile0. Cependant la température est magnifique. Il est 6 hrs et il fait encore 27 degrés. Anne-Marie est en train de jouer avec son nouveau gadget pour faire une tasse de café. Prochaine étape Fort Nelson. Je vous donne des nouvelles demain. Je vous promets des photos pour demain. Écrivez-moi pour me dire si ça marche. J'apprécie tous vos commentaires. Its a ...

... occurred." There have been several attacks, some resulting in death over the past few weeks. We asked the park wardens about it and they gave us some tips on what to do if we ended up meeting a bear. The funny thing is that it seems that everyone has a different opinion of what works best. Through it all, it was agreed that running and screaming was not the desirable course of action. It started to rain again part way through the day so we jumped in ...
