On Friday we headed toward Dawson Creek and the Alaska Highway (or Alcan). The winds have lessened quite a bit. We did the walking tour of the town - lots of murals depicting the history of the building of the highway. The highway is long and empty of vehicles or life of any kind. It's all trees and steep inclines and then an eight or ten percent downgrade for three or four miles with a couple of rough, lumpy sections.
We ended up in Fort Nelson for the night because I wanted to see the museum here and hopefully visit the library. Monday is a holidy in Canada. We are at MP 300. Although we are in Ft. Nelson, we don't have any cell service so I really don't know what time it is. The TV is Cable with New York ABC, Seattle CBS in addition to the Canadian Global News Network which I believe is out of Vancouver but it doesn't seem to ever show the time there!
