Dawson Creek: The Start of the Alaskan Highway

We have reached Dawson Creek—the start of the Alaskan Highway!

We are sitting in a Dawson Creek campground as I type this. The last three days we have been driving a lot, stopping only to sleep pretty much.

Now that we are in Dawson Creek the real adventure begins!

It is amazing how fast the terrain changes here in Canada. One minute its rocks and trees with lots of hills and the next its flat farm fields!!

There was a section in Manitoba that looked like Colorado…there were ranches and cattle everywhere! There were some fun looking hills and gullies that would have been so great to ride in.

Even though we didn't have time to stop for pictures, I was still really pleased with the pictures I was able to get while we were moving. I took over four hundred yesterday and quite a few today. There are several I think will look great in a frame.

Once we get on the Alaskan Highway, I'm  not sure if I will be able to get intenet, so this may be my last post until Alaska, but I will have lots of pictures to share when we get back online!

Now for the pictures…

This picture is my favorite. There were lots of cattle grazing right up by the highway. I was just clicking away as fast as I could as we drove by and just happened to get this shot. I just love it!

I really like this picture too. Again, just snapped as we drove by. A truck put out to pasture in Manitoba.

I've gotten around 50 pictures so far that I think will be printable. Not bad for four days into the trip!

Sounds like you guys are having lots of fun :) That is some beautiful country side. I really like that last picture. It looks like something from the old west especially in the black and white :)
