Well it is now Friday September 14th and it continued to be cold overnight at -0'C. We left Fort Nelson about 8:30 am after gassing up @ $1.239 per litre and headed southeast. We were in Fort St. John about 1:00 pm and treated ourselves to lunch at McDonald's.
Continued to Dawson Creek - where the Alaskan Highway begins at mile Zero. Another leg of the journey has been completed.We continued east into Alberta - stopping in Grande Prairie for some tourist info. Headed south from there along Hwy 40 to Grande Cache our stop for that night. We set up the tents at a municipal camping ground and a little while later a couple from Whitehorse set up their tent next door.
The campground was full of pipeline workers who all owned large trucks and 5th wheels - anything that wasn't at least a 3/4 diesel would be small. They started leaving for work about 5:30 am. - at least 25 of them. They moved out slowly, but how quiet can a 1 ton diesel truck be at 5:30 in the morning.
