June 26, 2007 – Travel to Dawson Creek and Milepost 0

We woke to a chilly 38 degrees this morning and it was tough leaving that incredible campsite. We continueD our travels through the Rockies to Chetwynd for a stop to see the wood sculptures. Every year they have a contest and the sculptures must be competed within 4 days. Look at some of these sculptures and detail:





And of course, me and my moose. By the way, we are in moose country. Still haven’t seen any but I keep looking.


Leaving Chetwynd, there is a large climb into the high plains where there is many farms – beautiful country and so very green and many of the fields covered in wildflowers.

We arrived at Dawson Creek and the famous Milepost 0 of the Alaskan Highway.



We are staying at the Milepost 0 Campground (free WiFi - Yea!). We spent the day around town, stocking up, and had supper at a local restaurant – Rockwell’s Pub. And tomorrow we start on the Alcan Highway. (Still can't believe we are here!! - :-))

Miles Traveled: 126 miles
Routes Traveled:
