Alaska Highway Day 3, Fort Nelson, BC.

What a difference a day makes, this morning we woke up to blue skies and bright, warm sunshine, it was 17c. at 7:30, yesterday I don't think it went above 14c. all day. Writing this at 5:30 pm. and the ac. is on. Ruth sunbathing outside while I bash away on the macbook.

 

Are we in the same country, easier driving when the weather is like this.

 

This road just go's on and on and the surface is as good as anything we have driven on this trip. We were told by lots of people we met on the drive across Canada that we would need extra tires, gas cans etc.etc. so far not true, lots of gas stations - - maybe one every 50km or so - - we have some 10 litre gas cans for sale any reasonable offer accepted.

 

Another Oil/Gas encampment, not such a good pic. but you get the idea (will be having a word with the photographer later, after she has made dinner)

 For all the truck lovers out there, this monster had 30 wheels, 18 wheelers bah up here there known as minis' just like them funny European cars.

Change of photo, there are other things to see than road and trucks. We are approaching Fort Nelson and the scenery has flattened out. Farming again. 

We are parked up at The Triple "G" Hideaway RV Park, in Fort Nelson, Tomorrow we are having the truck serviced here, we have done just under 8000.km since taking delivery, and this V8 engine has to have an oil change and things every 5000 miles / 8000km.
