We leave Jasper National Park toward Dawson Creek which is the infamous Mile "0" of the Alaskan Highwy A.K.A. the ALCAN. We have a bit of sun, a bit of rain, but nothing terrible. Not too far out of Jasper and we get our first rock to the windshield. Major Bummer, did not even get out of Alberta let alone Alaska before this happened. I knew it might happen but was certainly hoping not. Well, I don't have to worry about it anymore, damage done. We stop just south of Grand Prairie at Kay's Kitchen, a roadside cafe out of trailer. We get a good burger and continue on to Dawson Creek. We decide to not stay in the Walmart parking lot and snag a dry camp spot in the field at Mile "0" Campground. We take pics at the famous sign, make a trip to Walmart, and sitting out side our camper, a local gal stops by on her E-Bike and we chat for an hour. So happens, she was visiting Grapevine Texas on business, just a few months ago at the Gaylord. We meet the most wonderful people on the road, either locals, or other fellow travelers. Like Steve and Laurie that have a Winnebago View like we used to have, I helped him get his slide out in with all the snow. And Doug and Ruth from Petosky Michigan towing their trailer to Alaska that camped next to us in Jasper. We always say howdy! and you never know who we will meet next.
