We left the farm of Fred and Elsie at 7:45 this morning and traveled west today. We left with mixed feelings but we say a big Thank you for the wonderful time together.

This robin has her nest where it will be warm at night, on top of the security light.
Today, we saw a lot of farm land with huge fields in the Peace River Region.
Our first glimpse of Dawson Creek, British Columbia. We were initiated well today, at getting prepared for some gravel roads in Alaska. We had gravel hit each windsheild so we have a chip in each, which will will have looked at tomorrow morning.
This is sign post #ONE at mile one of the Alaska Highway(Alcan). It is in the town center, where two streets cross. This road was built after the Pearl Harbor attack, as a military road to Alaska, from 1942 - 1943, a President Roosevelt order. This 1523 mile road was build in 18 months from Dawson Creek, BC to Delta Junction, AK.
The sign speaks for itself.

We are camped at Mile "O" campground and picked up a few groceries tonight - I was horrified at the prices. Green grapes were $5.49 @ pound. A block of cheese was $8.99. Of course their weights and measures don't make sense to me!!!! So I really don't know their prices but the cheese looked like what I buy at home but its much cheaper.

Tomorrow we begin our trek on the Alcan, a dream for both of us.
