British Columbia is very interesting - miles and miles and miles of fields of snow. We passed signs showing golf courses, many camping spots, and boating so there must be lakes out there. There is ranch after ranch, field after field, rolled hay bales in the fields, and snow as far as you can see.
We had great weather until we got to Grand Prairie. I had just said how we were blessed with good weather and then the snow came. We followed a small red truck for 200 miles at 40 miles an hour in blowing snow and I will post the picture when we get to Anchorage.
We are in Fort St. John and a severe winter storm warning has been posted north of us so we will see how it is in the morning. By the way, diesel was $4.20 a gallon here and we are told it will be about $6.00 a gallon by Watson Lake. It was $1.11 a liter today and I am getting pretty good at converting. We plug in the truck to electricity each night to keep the engine warm. I will take a picture when we get there to show you how dirty it is - it's no longer white.
Everything is expensive - fuel, food - lodging is about the same.
We keep telling ourselves "it's an adventure" and that it is. We could be home watching TV being bored. And we are defintely not bored!!!
