Left Jasper NP
around 7:30ish. Gassed up in the town of
Jasper, hooked up the Jeep and we were off on HW 16, which connected to HW 40,
heading to Dawson Creek. This was really
the first day we really felt that we were on the path to Alaska. The first part of HW 40 was a lonely 2 lane
road. Sometimes we would go for quite a
while without seeing another car. Crazy
cool drive. As we started getting close
to Grand Prairie, it really changed, with the truck traffic going to and from
what appeared to be oil fields. All
kinds of construction trucks and such.
The weather was really nice today, with highs near 85. Supposed to change tomorrow with some rain
moving in and back to cooler.
Back at Banff, we
were warned about staying away from Grand Prairie by someone at the Info
Center. They said it had a really high
crime rate. So we scooted on by and
headed to Dawson Creek.
Our campground at
Dawson Creek is the typical side of the road campground with RV's all close
together. But a good place to park and
hook up. There was a walking path that
goes all the way thru Dawson Creek. The
start of it was right down the road from our campground, so we walked it for a
while.
