West of Grand Prairie to Fort Nelson. The big story for today is reaching Mile Zero of the Alaskan Highway. We took the necessary photo of us at Mile Zero only to discover that was the new sign. The original Mile Zero is two blocks away. Off we headed to get that shot as well and find a bakery. Success on both accounts. Dawson Creek is know as mile zero yet the traffic was heavy. RVs, pickups, big trucks, and even a few cars clogged the road. It took about 30 miles along the route to clear traffic. Stopped tonight at a campground in Fort Nelson, BC. A car coming the other way hit a white tail deer. Other than that towards the end of the day Marsha spotted a black bear. I just spoke with another camper and he said the next section of highway has lots of wildlife.
