Really making progress now! Black bears along the roadside--well, we glimpsed two, no photos, though--a visit to Hudson's Hope, setting of the memoir "Mrs. Mike" and the Bennett Dam that created Lake Williston, huge and productive.

We posed for photos in Dawson Creek, the Mile Zero point of the Alaska Highway, then found the wooded secluded campsite at Charlie Lake in Fort St. John, some fifty miles along the Alaska Highway.

So, we are actually On The Way. Driving south to Hudson's Hope beats all superlatives for magnificent rural scenery and at a viewpoint we met the most friendly people--hey to Gary and Earla from Oklahoma.

Details and photos next post.
