Dawson Creek, British Columbia

Well, clearly, we had not said goodby to the oil and gas towns. Dawson Creek had, too, been invaded. This was our place to prepare for Alaska by stocking up at the grocery ( Safeway no less), gas up, do our wash and have minor repairs done on our units. We stopped by the visitor center for maps and general information. A nice young man there explained the oil and gas situation in British Columbia, in short, he said it was ruining BC. He told us that the government had given permission to the oil companies to run the pipeline through the national parks. Such a shame!

While washing clothes I talked with two couples going to Alaska. One from Maine and the other from Missouri. I suspect we'll see them along the way. Our RV park was very nice with spacious sites and a lovely flower garden. Perhaps tomorrow I'll see some of the sights around town. (That shouldn't take long)!

These were the most beautiful lupine I had ever seen.
