So far we got nothin'


June 12, 2014

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'.
