Alaska Day 30


Well, day 30 finds us up and ready for breakfast at 6:30 am in Fort Nelson. The first news of the day came from Dave as he whispered so John could not hear "I am no longer the BIG BOY on this trip". That means John is the NEW BIG BOY. Bruce and I announced to John, at breakfast, that we new he was the NEW BIG GUY. John gave us his "I understand wave" and went on eating. Now, Dave at 228 and me at 220 and Dave loosing at 4 a week means its going to be close by the time we get home. We left Fort Nelson about 7:45, the weather and roads were great. We passed through Fort St. John then all the way down to Dawson Creek where we stopped to take pictures of the mile "0" post. You know, I've been to Fort Nelson, Fort "oh my God" Liard, Fort St. John and haven't seen a fort yet. We also stopped by the visitor center bought some goodies and read a little about the man Dawson Creek and Dawson City were named after. Then off to Grand Prarrie for dinner. After dinner a little light left so Grand Cache was our next and final stop. After a 487 mile leg today Grand Cache was a welcome sight.
