May 8-11, 2011

The last blog seemed to disappear, so I republished it last night.  
We have been without wifi or phone service for the last 2 days.   
It may be like that again down the road.  Should be back in the
USA in a couple more days.












The view from the KOA Campground in Hinton, Alberta.  We stayed here 2 nights and we enjoyed a steak dinner for Mother's Day.  Hope yours was 'special'!  We had a very friendly waitness who was from Lebanon.  So far it seems that Canada is very diverse like the US and all the people so very nice & friendly!


Left Hinton and headed for Dawson Creek, British Columbia on May 9.



The mountain above had a mining operation going and 
we saw lots of  mills with loads of logs and lumber!



Beaverlodge, Alberta
couldn't mistake this town!


Made it to Dawson Creek
and the Museum of the Alaska Highway!











On May 11, we left Dawson Creek and saw more flat valleys with 
lush farmland along the Peace River.





This lake was 'special' as it was "Charlie Lake".





       Wonowon means Historical Mile Marker 101 from '0' at Dawson Creek!  
There was lots of oil & gas work going on in this area and this was some of the housing.  Had a lot in common with parts of Oklahoma.  
Between here and Ft Nelson, we had to have a few gallons of diesel which we 
paid $7.00 a gallon, the highest on all the trip so far.  It has mostly been $5.20 to $5.50.


Was raining on us when we drove into Fort Nelson and rained the rest of the day while we camped.
