Yes we actually slowed down enough to stay two days in one place. We are still at Mile 0 RV Park in Dawson Creek, BC. Tomorrow morning we will we be starting on the official “Alaska Highway”. I should say with the RVs since we actually drove part of it today in Gary’s Truck. We went north on the road for 17.3 miles and then turned off east (right) on to a section of the old original Alcan road for 2.5 miles to the only remaining wooden bridge still in use. It is the Kiskatinaw River Bridge. It is a 531 foot curved and sloped structure that is really impressive. It is hard to believe it was built in 1942 in only 9 months.
We drove over it and re-entered the present Alaska Highway at mile post 21.6 and came back to the New Kiskatinaw River Bridge. Look at the size of the steel beams under it compared to the pickup on it.
I don’t know how often I will find a WiFi spot from here until we actually get to Alaska where I can start using my Sprint Broadband Card again so although I plan on blogging everyday I may not be able to post to the website everyday.
