#4 Alaska Trip - Drayton Valley to Dawson Creek

7/1/12
340 miles
  Happy Canada Day.
Updating blog a few days late since we have been in dark territory with no internet to use.  Started at 11 am and arrived in Dawson Creek early evening where the Alaska Highway starts.  Noticing the sun dips below the horizon for 4 to 5 hrs then rises, so it is always light out making it hard to sleep and messing with our internal clocks.  As I write this, its 10:30 pm and the sun is behind some clouds but it's not dark at all.  Experienced a great steak dinner and remembered that Canada serves gravy with everything and somehow it just feels right.  Stayed at a very nice, quiet RV park in DC but the oil and lumber rigs ran through the night using jake brakes at every chance.  A poor first night of camping.
Animals spotted: 1 Coyote
