We woke up early this morning without an alarm clock but had a much more relaxed time to enjoy our morning coffee and tea. At 7:30 we walked across the parking lot to the hall where the local Rotary Club was hosting a breakfast for us of pancakes, scrambled eggs and sausages. Terry shared the story of the convoy including the planning and then the Rotary conducted their morning meeting.
I took some time to clean out some cupboards and organize all of the Convoy 'stuff' while Lou went and did a few loads of laundry. It was nice to be able to get things organized again in the RV and pull out some clean sheets and towels etc.
We joined Muriel and Terry for lunch at "Stuies Diner". It is an old style Diner that we learned is constructed in Alberta and serves great food.
After lunch we took a drive out to the Kiskatinaw Bridge which is about 21 miles from Dawson Creek. When the Convoy left town on August 4th, the Military Vehicles detoured from the main highway over to a part of the 'old alaska highway' and drove over the bridge. Because the bridge is curved and narrow, the RVs didn't take that route and missed the bridge.

A butterfly came to visit.
For dinner the convoy participants that were still in Dawson Creek all went for dinner at Boston Pizza and then said our good-byes. We met some wonderful people and saw some amazing scenery.
