Dawson Creek 2

Friday, August 27 - Another cool, windy, rainy day.  It was about 48 degrees when we got up, and it stayed close to that all day, with rain off and on.  We are camped a couple miles outside of town, so we went into town to do errands today, groceries, Walmart, etc.  We had to make a trip back to town to get some pictures, but we did get a few.

  There is a lot of traffic here, with construction work on the gas pipeline and the coal mines around, plus tourists driving through.  We didn't make it into the Visitor Center or the Railroad Museum, ran out of time, so we just got pictures of the buildings.

There's a lot of farm ground right here on these rolling hills, barley we think.  They were combining some of it when we hit town, but the rain has put a stop to that.  There are also a lot of horses around here, which we haven't seen many of in Alaska or Canada, up until now.

We had a pretty laid-back day, read while it rained, then played cards in the evening.  We have never traveled at such a pace, and it is wonderful.
