DATA,DATA,DATA You never really know how much you depend on “data” or the internet or WiFi until you are on the open road. The reason you can be on the open road for extended periods of time is that you pay all your bills online and conduct all your business on line. What happens when you run out of “data” or can’t get internet? You become very FRUSTRATED!!!!! I was doing fine because when we didn’t have internet I would use my phone data until one day I found out I didn’t have an unlimited data plan like I thought. So I kept getting nasty grams saying I only had X amount of data left. Well I have solved that problem so I do not have to rely on the non-existent WiFi most RV camps have. I was lucky the other day I got 90sec of wifi to check my bank account. Do you remember the song “Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh” by Allan Sherman? It’s about a boy that has been sent to camp and he is writing home. The weather has been awful and he is stuck inside. He tells his parents all sorts of terrible and unpleasant things that are happening. By the end of the “letter” the weather has changed and all the fun activities have started (look it up). Well that has been me for the past few weeks. The weather has been cold and rainy and we have had some issues with the motorhome and I have been ready to head home. But the weather has turned and we have had near perfect days since we got to Fort Nelson BC. We head out tomorrow for Watson Lake we are hoping to overnight at a hot springs called Liard River. Sites are first come so we will have to see if there are any left when we arrive. Also from here on out the road becomes pretty bad and will need to average only about 45MPH, on the plus side we should start getting a close up and personal look at the animals. I will have my telephoto lens on the camera. Now for some pictures!

The Adventure begins!
This is the real mile zero on the Alaska Highway
What’s for lunch? What else French fries with gravy Canadian style.
This little guy was so fast this is the best I could do!
A phone booth!
This is at the visitor center in a little town called Taylor. Met a nice lady that told us all the ins and outs of the Alaska Highway. I don’t think Beau and Bailey are too sure about the statue.

Bleeding Heart. The flowers have been amazing!
The road!
For my future Grandson his Papa couldn’t resist:-)
At the Ft Nelson Museum. To keep from getting cabin fever you make weird things.

First time we have been able to grill on the trip! Beau and Bailey enjoy being outside.

Beau and Bailey have really adapted to life on the road and I think they are enjoying seeing all the new sights and people.
