Traveling From Dawson Creek to Fort Nelson


For the past couple of days, we've pretty much just driven to head further north in British Columbia.....
 

Yesterday, we reached Dawson Creek, BC, Mile 0 of the Alaska Highway!  We've been on the road for quite some time, but today we finally reached the beginning of the Alcan or Alaska Highway!
 
 
After quite some time of driving thru the mountains, today, for the most part, we experienced gentle rolling roads.  I must add that for this image and the following two, they were taken thru the windshield of our RV.  I've tried to work some Photoshop magic on the images, but for this one, I really couldn't get rid of the windshield glare.  Still, I wanted to share this image of some really open, beautiful views.....

 
Here's a view of the Alaska Highway.  For those friends who live in cities and would consider this a little country road, this is one of the main roads up thru Canada into Alaska!  I decided to finish this as a pastel painting to cover up some of the glare and the bugs who committed suicide on our windshield!  I do love the feel of this image - it was a great feeling to drive on this road.  There was traffic, but not a lot (relatively speaking).

 
There were a few sharp turns and steep inclines or descents.  This was one of them.  Still, what a pretty sky!
 
Enjoy!
