Well I have to say our trip is very uneventful. No pictures of wildlife. I did see a squirrel on the side of the road
I should have gotten a picture of it so I would have something. But I got nothin’. Maybe today.
We are on our way to Fort St. John and Fort Nelson. We slept in and just left about 10:30. It’s 11:25 and George is tired. I walked to a little Gas station/store and
got some butter so he could have bacon and eggs. The trip seems to be getting longer.
We just stopped at a little rest area 5 miles outside of
somewhere and I was talking to a lady about how far the next town is. She asked if we filled up in that little town
5 miles back and got a little excited when I said I think the last time was
Dawson Creek. (George is in charge of gas).
Looks like he is slacking. He
decided we would be fine. We are 1247
kilometers from Whitehorse and only little towns in between and it is a two
lane road. He has been filling up every
chance before we hit Dawson Creek but now that it’s critical he decides it will
be fine. Sooo we turned around and went
back 5 miles and filled up. Wonder how this day will turn out.
We made it to Fort Nelson. We found a pet friendly motel and should have checked the room first. They were afraid to take cash but decided we looked fine, I guess, and let us in. Well... this was not as bad as the Econo Lodge but would run a close second. We ate our bacon and tomato sandwiches again and went to the store. We still have bacon and a tomato left over so we thought we would get some deli meat and have a little club sandwich tomorrow.
Who ever said the trip to Alaska is a trip of a lifetime? I feel like we are watching a bad movie and waiting for it open up. So far I still got nothin'.
