My back surprisingly doesn’t hurt. Hurray for the small things. I bid adieu to Whitecourt and headed towards Fort St. John.
I had all intention of stopping in Fort St. John for the night, but after driving around and not really finding any decent campgrounds, the hotels were all full that I could find and being full of energy I decided to press onward to Fort Nelson. A quick topping of the tank just north of Fort St. John and I was off into the middle of nowhere. Cell reception stopped here until Skagway.
The driving and the scenery is gorgeous now. Hills, valleys and trees abound and the road curves up and down and around. It’s now down to one lane in each direction for the most part with passing sections now and again, mostly on hills. The traffic is mostly truckers with a spattering of trucks and cars thrown in.
I pull into Fort Nelson in the later evening, but the sun is still up. I check into the local motel and hit the hay. Another day of driving has passed.
