THE WIND!!!! We have had wind forever. The flat lands were a large suprise for as long as we have had them. It would not have been as bad had we had wind from the west or east. Instead, we have had wind from North or South hitting us broadside - and it has not been just a little wind - it's been HUGE winds. We are anxious to get rid of the wind. Our high temps have been low 70's and our low's have been around 45. Chatterbox would certainly need two pairs of long underwear to be warm. Went through some interesting towns, like Beaver Lodge (thought you would like the beaver picture). Saw fields of yellow canola which is a big industry here for canola oil. Also, oil and cattle are big industries. I think every town along the way has a casino. Drove by Mile "0" of the Alaskan Highway and will begin the 1422 miles/2288km from Dawson Creek, BC to Delta Junction, Alaska tomorrow. It is a two lane road, so we are not sur![]()
e what to expect with traffic. We will travel to the Blue Bell Inn in Ft. Nelson tomorrow and hopefully we will begin to see some mountainous terrain. Cell service has been good and so far internet through the RV parks has been good. Cannot use my air card until I arrive in Alaska. All I have read, though, says that cell service is unpredictable. We shall see.

Love ya'll.
Wow, I LOVE the beaver!and yes, I would need several pairs of long undies to survive those temps. I sit outside in Charlotte heat to warm up from the AC as it is! You are doing an awesome job keeping us posted and visually teased as you make your way north. Unfortunately things are not so exciting here. Our big deal is tomorrow; we are heading to Crowders Mountain for a 5 mile hike. The squirrel is convinced we are joking. She will really be surprised when we wake her up at 7am..he he he. Bob is still in the shop, and I am getting sick of driving the rental which by te way is NOT an SUV> I still freak out in traffic; especially at lights (freakout more than normal that is) That's about it for here; kinda boring. Drive safely and check in when you can. I will try to brush up on Alaskan though I'm not exactly sure what that is....5 weeks and I start back to the grind....Love you both!
