07/04/19- 07/06/19 Well to be expected the 4th of July in Canada in a non-event. We drove up Route 40 through Grand Prairie up to Swan Lake Provincial Park just outside of Dawson Creek. It had good reviews and as we pulled in we found a lovely park like setting along the lake. Jackie made our camp festive with a Red, White, and blue table decoration and so we settled in and stayed a couple of days taking walks between rain showers and enjoying the serenity of this pretty area. We went into Dawson Creek one day and toured the visitors center and museum where we saw a great documentary on the building of the Alcan Hwy, got the oil changed on the RV, picked up some dewormer for the dog, found the town free dump station, and had some lunch at Stuie’s Diner. Not necessarily in that order. We stopped again on our way out of town to make sure we all got our picture taken at the Mile 0 marker of the Alaskan Hwy which was built as a joint effort with Canada to link Alaska to the lower 48 during WWII. Thus begins our long trek on the famous Alaska Hwy.
