June 5, We woke up to it raining this morning, waited a little and then pulled out about 9:30.  It rained most of the day off and on, we drove about 258 miles, stopping in Grande Prairie, Alberta, for the night, at a Rotary Club Campground.  The road was hilly, curvy, and had construction on it, also came upon oil drilling, and tree clearing, the road was muddy and dusty at some spots, a lot of trucks traveling.  Went to grocery store to pick up a few things, filled with fuel and back to camp for supper and to catch up on internet stuff, it’s 10:30 and raining again.

June 6, We woke up to it raining again this morning, we where thinking about staying put for the day, but Ken decided to move on.  We waited for it to stop raining, but by 10 am it was still raining, we hooked up and pulled out, traveling west, northwest on Route 97.  Stopped at Dawson Creek at the Information Center and took pictures of the Alaska Highway sign, ate some lunch.  We traveled to the 20 miles marker, for the interesting side road that gives the travelers the opportunity to drive the original old Alaska Highway and to across the curved, wooden bridge, Historic Kiskatinaw River Bridge.  A sign at the bridge notes that the 531 ft long structure is the only original timber bridge built along the Alaska Highway that is still in use today.  Stopped in Fort St. John for fuel at a Safeway, I walked into the store to see if they sell the Alaska Coupon Saver Book, but no, second one we stopped in to see, but neither one of them had them.  We stopped for the night at Pink Mountain, staying in front of a restaurant and RV park but the park is full of oil drilling guys, the lady said just stay where we are at for the night.
