From Fort Nelson to Prince George

Well we have been on the move the past 4 days. Stopped off at Dawson Creek, Mile "0" of the Alaskan Highway for a few days. Nothing new to report from there but very few tourists visiting the famous Mile"0" sign. The campground was full because of their yearly rodeo. They had a parade, but we missed it because we were being lazy and hanging around the campground. We left early for Prince George and glad we did as the highway was being repaired because of flooding in July. We had 2 delays that lasted for a total of an hour and still had to go slow for many of the miles. The ride from Fort Nelson to Prince George has been a pretty rough 600 miles. There is a lot of road repairs and in another month and a half winter will strike, I am not sure they can get all the repairs done.

Prince George is a nice town of about 80,000 with a some beautiful parks for public use. I have not seen any parks like those in Florida.  We are staying at the South Park RV Campground on the southside of town. It is a very nice campground with grass and very clean restrooms and laundry facilities.

Prince George is also home of Rex and Lori, campers we met in Albuquerque. It sure is nice to visit with fellow travelers. They treated us to a nice tour of Prince George and some places we probably wouldn't have seen without their help. We are going over to their camper tonight for fried fish, one of my favorites. We hope they come to Florida so we can repay the hospitality.
Staying in the campground are Tom and Barbara, who are good friends with Walt and Linda from New Smyrna Beach. We had met them in Seward over a month ago and here we are 1000 miles from there and camping at the same park. What a small world!!
Moving on down to Williams Lake and Hope before going into Vancouver.
