Dawson Creek Mile 0, Alaska Hwy

Statue to commentate surveyors for the highway. 1,500+ miles built in less than 6 months through some pretty desolate country!

We got a group photo under this sign.

Looks like the prairie, eh?

The actual 0 mile marker downtown. There was a great frozen yogurt place just down the street to the left. We are headed out tomorrow morning. Don't know when we'll have wifi again. Hugs to Karson! Hope you're feeling better! We're thinking about you!!

Wildlife (saw more bear, elk, and mountain sheep while driving, but couldn't get pictures.)

These two were right by the road, but not close enough for one picture.

Junko

Ground squirrel

Cow and calf at our campsite. The calf ran right toward me at one point. A bit too close with mom right there! We watched the calf run around for about 15 minutes.

Thought of some family members when we saw this tee shirt.

We are in Dawson Creek

Interesting drive yesterday. Elk on the road leaving Jasper, beautiful scenery, and rain. We had a staging area in Grand Prairie so the Wagon Masters could make sure the bridge wasn't out. Then another as we got into Dawson Creek to determine which road, if any, was open. The main highway through town is under water and bridges are out on 3 routes. We arrived safely AND woke to sunshine!!

Wet Dawson Creek 

Kootenay National Park

Drive in the canyon going east.

At the first pullout. Beautiful canyon!

Dropping down to Banff

Animal crossing 

Radium Hot Springs

Rainy day, but had lunch at Tim Hortons and got Timbits for the freezer! Went to the hot springs and soaked in the hot water. We won't have wifi while in Banff and Jasper so I'll save posts until we do. Probably 5-6 days. Having a great time.
