MAY 28, 2016 WATSON LAKE CANADA

Drove to Watson Lake today but stayed one night at Liard Hot Springs last night. Our plans were to stay another night there and swim in the springs today but it rained all night last night and most of the morning today so we just drove on to Watson Lake since we had no cell phone or wifi at Liard Springs RV Park (yes, we are spoiled now................terrible, isn't it????)

. Saw LOTS of different wildlife on the way. We checked into the Signpost Services Tags RV Park for 2 nights right across the street from the Sign Post Forest.

Stayed across street from this park.

Driving yesterday to Liard Springs.

MAY 25, 2016 ROAD TO FT. NELSON SIKANNI RIVER RV PARK

so.............we pulled into a little ole campground on the alaska highway next to a river for the night. I think this place was built about the time they finished the highway. we got our spot and hooked up the shore line to the 30 amp box and could not get power into the coach. my progressive electric monitor system showed a reverse polarity fault so it would not engage the coach to the pedestal. of course all the 30 amp boxes had no fuse, were loose on the post and open to the elements. so I was close to another one and connected to it..............this time it was low voltage, 104-106. I could reach one other one and connected to it...............reverse polarity again. I believe 3 strikes and you are out so I fired up the generator and went to the office and got my money back. lesson for everyone............you need to have a progressive EMS or similar for your rig, not a cheap "SURGE PROTECTOR". you need a system that will check all the conditions of the power before it connects to your rig otherwise you can have severe electrical problems in your rig. my EMS has saved me several times mostly at old state parks where I have found low voltage problems, reverse polarity, no ground. if you dont have one you need to get one.

We had a nice drive today. Pretty, lush countryside after passing where the fires burned. No wild life.  Rain off and on.

If you plan on staying here........keep driving!!!!!

MAY 24, 2016 DAWSON CREEK BC CANADA

Well............we made it to the start of the Alaskan Highway, milepost 0 in Dawson Creek. We toured the town today and visited the museums to see how the highway was built in only 8 months. Since WW2 was in full swing, a lot of shortcuts were taken that could not happen today.



Watched 2 very interesting films on the building of the ALASKAN HIWAY. To start from scratch and finish in 8 months is phenomenal.



one of many murals in the town as it was in 1942 and earlier.





metal sculpture in town showing the way to Alaska



one of three bridges built in 1942. Wooden and curved.



We watched several beavers below in the river.

MAY 23, 2016 TO DAWSON CREEK BRITISH COLOMBIA, CANADA

Left Hinton/Jasper KOA yesterday and drove thru a snow blizzard, for about an hour, as we went over a pass on the way to Dawson Creek. Pulled over for the night at a provincial park. Nice place with picnic table and fire ring. No hookups so we dry camped for the night but had our FIRST campfar. Today we continued on to Dawson Creek and met up with Jerry Jenkins and Cynthia Linke Jenkins at Northern Lights RV Park. We will be crossing paths a lot as both of us journey thru Alaska.










FREE camping!!!!!
