Alberta to British Columbia

Hi, we left Drumheller and drove to Edmonton for 3 days. Got more chores done, some banking, shopping and stuff like that.  We got a plug in cooler for the truck.  Works well, keeps the beer at the right temp. :)
Had some really weird weather each evening.  The days were sunny and hot and then the black clouds slide in and the rain, thunder, lightening and rainbows happened.  It was a double rainbow and the legs were so colorful.  Did not go to the West Edmonton Mall.  Bill has seen it and I had no interest.  All you shoppers are screaming at me right now.

We then drove to Dawson Creek, BC.  Didn't see any references to the TV show that I thought was filmed here or at least based on.  Yesterday we drove to Fort Nelson.  We left from mile "0" in Dawson Creek and we are now travelling on the famous Alaska Highway.  It was a cloudy, sunny, rainy, windy drive and we also saw rainbows.  The scenery isn't as interesting as our previous legs, a lot of skinny spruce trees and white birch.
We are going to Fort Laird, NWY today.  I've found some hiking trails that look up to our trekking.  Hope the weather holds out. It's overcast at the moment.  I'll have more pix on our next stop.  Didn't have wifi on Wed night so I'm a bit behind.
Getting ready to head out, so till the next time.
Cheers, nrm & bam

Sounds like you're having a great time! Great dino pictures! Uncle Steve (who died last year at 93), helped build the Alaska Hwy.

Hope you find some good hiking trails. Happy motoring!
