Alaskan Highway

We've finally made it to mile zero of the Alaskan Hwy in Dawson Creek, BC and had our pictures taken in front of the official beginning of the highway.  A big milestone in this trip.  After driving about 5,500 miles we still have another thousand miles to get to Alaska !  That's what we get for taking the scenic route up the California Coast.  However I will admit I am getting a little burned out by driving.  From here on out there will be more days camped out and relaxing than just driving. 

Last night we boondocked in a designated RV parking area for RV's at a Casino.  They allow RV overnight parking for free.  So we decided to go in the casino and try our luck.  We came out ahead by $1.10 so it really did pay to stop there for the night.

This morning we met a caravan of 14 RV's traveling together.  They were all from Australia and had picked up their Class "C" motor homes in Seattle to shuttle to Alaska.  They especially liked the model name of our RV - OUTBACK ... Sydney Edition.

We saw three Black Bears today and numerous deer.
