Friday we drove from Quesnel to Dawson Creek. Big scenery change as we went over the Rockies into the plains. Today was marked by 2 changes, first it got cold. Some from higher altitude & snow everywhere except the roads.
After the mountains, just lots of trees. Birch and aspen, I believe. Some pine, but a lot of pine trees are dead from the pine beetle. Thousands of dead trees.
Many huge lumber mills and logging related business all through here.
The RV handles well but a new problem has come up. It's leaking tranny fluid even more. We are trying to contact the company to see what to do. Maybe just keep pouring fluids in and keep driving.
Woke up Saturday morning to 23 degrees. Sure glad we have central heating! Too cold to hike or bike, so we will probably just drive today if approved. This is the last town for a few days. (OK, Fort St John is big enough, but it is pretty close so I'm counting it the same as Dawson Creek)
Between cooking our own food and buying restaurant, it's working out well so far.
Ever since teaching seminary days, we both cannot seem to sleep in for the mornings, so we are getting early starts. The next few days we should start seeing some wildlife. I did see a marmot the other day (when I got lost on the bike ride)

Looks nice. fun little marmot. I was thinking it looked maybe like a beaver, but i guess the tail and teeth aren't right.
