Last post for three days or so...

We are in Tim Horton's in Chetwynd. We supposedly have wifi in the RV park but none of us could get on. We needed a donut anyway!
We spent the morning in Dawson Creek (now know that Mr. Dawson was a Railway official). We toured their museum and all now feel pretty educated about the building of the Alaska Highway. We all agree that we didn't know anything about this amazing accomplishment until we started learning as we travelled it. I think it is one more example of what people can do when motivated. Too bad it was the war - but maybe somehow we can all get motivated for our grandchildren's future?

We are heading to a nearby provincial park campground and driving from there to see the Bennett Dam. Then the next day travelling south stopping halfway to Prince George in another provincial campground (Whiskers Point) for two days - a real treat for us all. But no internet so we'll be sitting in a beautiful setting by a lake, making s'mores, reading books and fishing. How lucky are we?
Here are a few pictures from the last day or so. We've left the mountains for now and are in rolling farmland. We have a chance to watch storms form and drove through one downpour including thunder and lightning. Another similar one happened last night as Bill was madly unhooking the truck. He just made it inside as the lightning started.

The minimum amount of gas bought here -  $1.79 a litre. No snivelling, just loads of tears.
