Dawson Creek

Alaska highway, June 23-25

Hi folks,  We arrived at Dawson Creek Thursday afternoon.  It started raining and it didn't stop until Sat. Morning.  We stayed at the Wal-Mart for 2 nights.  We had a great Wi-fi signal so we caught up on our e-mails and blog.  I couldn't walk outside so I walked inside Wal-Mart.  I knew the store so well I started straightening shelves.  We left Dawson Sat. Morning and started at mile 0 on the Alaskan highway.  We drove through some more of the Canadian Rockies which do not look the same as the Rockies we drove in Alberta.  Most of the mountains were covered with pine trees and they are not as high.  Some were similar to the Badlands.  We passed a lot of wildlife.  Moose, Mountain goats and Elk.  Beautiful scenic vistas took our breath away.  The weather was sunny and temps were in the 70's.  The days we have spent in the mountains have been beautiful and sunny.  As I write this we are parked at a roadside camp with 3 other campers.  We have had no trouble getting a site at any campground we have been to.  Tomorrow we plan to stop at Watson Lake.  See you then.
