We awoke this morning to cloudy skies in Prince George but no more rain. Before leaving we stopped for fuel for the m/h for the first time since leaving Arlington Washington where we paid $1.91 per gallon two weeks ago. There is a Flying J truck stop on the south side of Prince George that has the lowest priced fuel in the area, $.873cdn per liter or $3.11usd per gallon which is very good news. Last year friends up here for the summer were paying over $4.00 for diesel fuel. We did pay over $4.00 for gas for the CRV yesterday, all 9 gallons!
The drive up to Dawson Creek is a nice one through rolling hills, lots of forests, and pretty lakes along the way. The number of RV’s is astonishing as we get farther north.
The rest area where we stopped for lunch was full as is the Mile 0 Campground here in Dawson Creek.
We met RV Forum friends Dave & Jeanette Reavis here this afternoon and had dinner together as well as coming back to the m/h for coffee afterwards. They leave in the morning for Ft Liard, Northwest Territories to include the NWT in he travels but I am sure we will see them again further north in Alaska.
We will spend tomorrow visiting Dawson Creek and gathering info on the Alaska Highway. Jeff also needs to replace a battery cable before heading out.
