May 21st - Mon - to Fort Nelson
The weather was lovely when we left Dawson Creek this morning but it changed to scattered clouds, then intermittent showers and now rain. Not snow yet!
Stopped for a couple of photos and to make lunch today but otherwise drove straight through to Fort Nelson. Not impressed with the town - a couple of undesirable RV parks and one just OK where we are. And, probably no fault of the town, diesel is $1.25 a liter - for our U.S. friends, that converts to $5.00 a gallon! And the exchange on money is going against us now. We are getting slightly less than 10 cents on the dollar right now.
We checked out the local museum after we set up here. Quite an interesting collection - one building stuffed with all sorts of displays - animal mounts, old household items, old military items, old signs; a building with old vehicles, most in running condition; a Hudson’s Bay “manager’s” house that was large and fancy for it’s time; a large trapper’s log cabin; and lots of miscellaneous stuff all around the grounds. It was breezy and too cool to loiter very long but it was interesting.
Have wifi at our site so I managed to get the pictures posted that I mentioned in yesterday's entries.
Wildlife seen while driving: 3 moose, 2 bears, 1 coyote and 12 deer.
