The end of day two of our Alaska Adventure ended in Hixon, BC. I was about to say what a clean and pleasant park Canyon Creek Rv Park is, but a bird just pooped on my enter key as I was uploading the picture to the right. No kidding! I'll have to clean that up... So anyway, no major glitches have occurred. The worst part of day one was the drive in morning rush hour between Sumner and Bellevue. Bumper to bumper, stop and go the whole way. Our first choice for campgrounds last night was full, so we had to settle for the other campground in Clinton, BC. Not the nicest, but had hook-ups and was nearly empty. Plus grass for the kids to play around on. Day two struck and we had to but groceries. I had read that Canadian customs has a habit of taking any meats, fruits, and vegetables, so we didn't bring much with us. Of course they didn't ask about food when we entered Canada... Food seems slightly expensive, but not too bad. We stopped in Wal-Mart, just outside of Quesnel, BC as the kids all needed clothing (that seems to happen every trip). The clothing seemed rather expensive, and the sizes were weird. Dakota couldn't fit into a set of boys size 16 swim trunks? Rained on us most of this morning, so the RV and car are filthy. I've seen two deer and three beaver lodges so far. Kinda cool seeing badger, moose, and bighorn sheep crossing signs. Anyway, we've made it this far along with our neighbor from last night, who pulled in next to us a couple of hours after we arrived here... Weird again... The kids, at least Mikee and Colton, enjoyed the creek here. I didn't call ahead to Dawson Creek for reservations. I didn't know this is Canada Day Weekend and everything may be full. At least we're self-contained, we can always pull off somewhere and sleep. Hopefully Dawson Creek tomorrow, beginning of the Alaskan Highway.
