Monday, June 20, 2011 Dawson Creek, BC

Left Dawson Creek about  8 and arrived at Fort Nelson about 2:30. We traveled 285 miles on pretty good road. There were a few short, very rough patches of frost heaves. Also had a couple of long steep grades up and down. There wasn’t much to see on the road and we only saw a few deer and a fox. There was rain on and off but when we arrived in Fort Nelson it was during a thunderstorm.  We visited the local Heritage Museum which was several buildings of old memorabilia. Watched a movie on building the Alaskan Highway.  Later we went to the Saloon for a drink and to use the internet. Had our travel briefing at 7:30 there. We had an appetizer afterward with Ron, Jackie, Dave, and Lynn.  George bought me a beer.  We stayed there until about 10. Around 1 AM we had a heavy rain again.

This old guy owns about 12 of these antique cas and maintains about 20 - used in local parades.


Roni, Gilbert and Bruce being silly!!!

















Sitting in the saloon working on the computer enjoying a drink - of course.  My butt got a little sore sitting on a saddle.
