Dawson Creek

Today was another frustrating day of awesome views with no photo opportunities. After 78 miles of frustration I pulled off the road at Whiskers Point Provincial Park, which sits on the shore of Lake McLeod, and managed to get the follow pictures:

Imagine these views repeated a few hundred times and you have a good idea of how mind-blowingly beautiful this part of British Columbia is.

I finished my day in Dawson Creek which marks my half way point (in terms of miles) as well as the start of the Alaska Highway. Mile 0 is commemorated with a marker in the center of town.

It was at this point that my AAA triptik let me down. Following its directions to the Days Inn resulted in my arrival at an empty lot. Luckily I had a feeling that the directions were not taking me the right way (the residential subdivision was a major hint) and had figured out where most of the hotels were. I wasn't expecting the towel art on the bed!
