Quesnel - Prince George - Dawson Creek

Yesterday we left Quesnel at 9:30 and took our time as we had decided to only drive for a short day and stop just past Prince George.  On our travels we saw one black bear but it was dead on the side of the highway.  A little farther on we saw a deer running along side the highway.
We arrived at Northlands Campground just before lunch so after a quick set up we drove back a few miles to get gas, some groceries and had MacDonald’s for lunch.
We spent the afternoon just kicking back and reading.  The WiFi was very weak and only 2 TV channels so it was an early night.


This is us.

This morning we were up early and on the road by 8:30.  Travel today was mostly an easy flat drive with a few climbs now and then.  We did discover a few effects of the frost heaves on the road so when it says “SLOW” with a bumpy road sign – make sure you slow down.  We went over Pine Pass which has some beautiful scenery.

We made a short stop in Chetwynd for lunch at A&W and then back on the road.

We only saw one animal today, it was a deer that had been hit by a car - so sad.  I sure hope we get to see more wild life when we head up to Alaska and that they are alive.

We pulled into the Truck & RV Wash in Dawson Creek at 1:10.  After waiting for our turn we then cleaned off all the bugs and dirt and arrived at Mile 0 RV Park at 2pm.  It looks like there are 3 other Convoy Vehicles here in the park.

After we were set up, we headed down to the Ford dealership because we have a warning light for our brakes.  We booked an appointment for Tuesday morning to have them take a look at it.
