Down to Dawson Creek and on to Beaver Lodge, AB

We left Sikanni River RV and had to immediately wait for the pilot car to get on the highway as the road crew started right there. We headed down the highway without any animal sightings. We did another cinnamon roll tasting at the Shepherd Inn and decided these were the best of the 4 or 5 that we tasted! We stopped for fuel at Dawson Creek where we had started our ALCAN Highway experience on Sunday, August 5th and traveled 3818 miles on the round trip. We were back in Dawson Creek Tuesday, August 28th.

Leaving Dawson Creek, we headed down the road into Alberta and lost an hour--Leigh and Herb are on their right time zone. We headed for Beaver Lodge, AB and you will see the big beaver statue that is in the center of town. We were spending the night at some friends of Leigh and Herb and had a delightful time and an excellent dinner.






After breakfast we headed down the road to Edmonton, AB. However driving through Grande Praire a rock hit the driver's side of the Howard's RV and put a big circular crack about at eye level which was quite devastating! Fortunately we made it the rest of the way to Edmonton and are staying at the Glowing Embers RV Park. It is a large park with about 300+ sites most of which are full. It is close to the West Edmonton Mall which is the huge mall with amusement parks, 100 restaurants, wave pool, skating rink and much, much more.

The day was cooler than yesterday and the wind is blowing!
