Dawson Creek to Fort Nelson

We were up at 7:00 this morning – I guess that has become our usual wake up time now.

We left Mile 0 Campground at 8:40 and headed north up the Alaska Highway.

We stopped for gas at a Shell station at Fort St. John. We got 140.256 liters at $1.319 a liter ($185.00 CAD) which is a little over 37 gallons at $5.110 a gallon.

We stopped for lunch at a turnout at 11:30 about 114 miles north of Dawson Creek. About 20 minutes after lunch we ran into a rain storm and hail around Sikanni. We had rain off and on for the next 2 hours which made it hard to get some photos along the way.

Mike took a photo of the RV's odometer showing we had a little over 50,000 miles on the RV.

We arrived in Fort Nelson at 3:10 and topped off the gas tank at a Fas Gas station. Gas was higher here than in Fort St. John. We got 129.462 liters at $1.429 a liter ($185.00 CAD) which is 34.2 gallons at $5.544 a gallon.

We pulled into Triple G Hideaway about 3:40 and one of the staff led us to our campsite. We are in site #93 which is a pull-through. We have 30 amp electric, water, sewer and cable TV. There is wi-fi here at the campground, but the signal isn’t strong enough to reach our site. I won't be able to update our blog & photos while we're here.

After dinner tonight we looked up campgrounds in Woodall’s and Church's Alaska Camping book for Watson Lake and Whitehorse. Tomorrow Mike will call and make reservations for our stops there.

We didn’t take any photos of the campground tonight, so we’ll get some in the morning.
