Ft. St. John, BC

After seven hours and a mere 408 miles we have arrived at Ft. St. John, British Columbia.  It's a bit different here as the town did not go on Savings time.  So when we got here at 3:15 it was actually 2:15 just for this town.  Strange.
The weather has been good.  Sun shine once in a while and temps in the 60s.  A little wind, but not bad.
We did stop and take a quirky picture of a sculpture of a Beaver at Beaver Lodge, Alberta.  Then we were welcomed into British Columbia.  Next we joined the Alaska Highway.  Besides the sign for the highway, there was a sculpture of a man pointing the way in the middle of the round about.  Then I took a few pictures of the scenery.  It is prettier than the pictures, but you get an idea of what it's like.  We have been on some steep slopes - 6% and 10% grades.  A little scary coming down the 10% grade-for me any way.  Barry is cool as a cucumber!  I'm glad he was driving.  I drove earlier on flatter land.
We are making it an early night as we have a long day tomorrow.  Estimate of 10 hours.  That's due to the lack of towns.  We should enter the Yukon for the night.  Watson Lake to be specific.
