I cruised out of the town of Fort Nelson towards the starting point of the Alaskan Highway with a spring in my step. I have been traveling for three days and I still have at least six hundred miles plus to go before I get to the US border.
I’m really looking forward to the getting back to the US. The gas in Canada is really expensive along with the food and lodging.
After arriving in Dawson Creek at the Super 8 Motel I met several gas & oil field workers along with a Frenchman names Nicolas. Nicolas arrived in Canada in early June on a workers visa and was trekking his way across the Canadian Provinces working in Quebec at a poultry farm, then a horse farm. He was waiting on the Greyhound bus to get him to the Yukon Territories where he was to work at a horse ranch learning how to break horses.
He and several of the workers played their guitars and I enjoyed their company. Thier playing was not very well and niether was thier singing.
