Reached Dawson Creek, British Columbia. Mile 0 of the Alaskan Highway!

Dawson Creek, walking down to MacDonald's for breakfast.
 


Massive expanses of grain fields. Canada seems to do everything on a HUGE scale. Grain, oil, and lumber. They appear to be making good use of their natural resources.

The city of Edmonton.


Gas in Canadian dollars per barrel of liters.

Chadd has driven 99% of the trip. Which suits both of us. Sometimes it's a lot of work to entertain a tired/bored Cyrus.


Snow! in May.


An oversized half a building going down the road. Chadd said to post this picture for his Dad (who drives truck).




These enormous flames shoot out of thin pipes at the oil refineries. We wonder that they must have to burn up the explosive fumes produced to protect the atmosphere?




Ginormous Canadian logging operation.

There's a mama moose and her calf out there.

Campsite at the golf course.


Chadd's "Fire Flower." Another great idea.

  2. Thanks for all the pictures, I haven't seen gas in liters or a Canadian tire since 2003. The Canadian blue sky through the birch trees is just indescribable even to a color challenged person like me.

    1. Haha, thanks for the comment Seth. It is gorgeous indeed! Chadd wants to make our master bedframe out of birch.
