Musreau Lake Alberta - Fort St John BC

Day 6 – Thursday, August 4 2005
Musreau Lake, Alberta – Fort St John, BC
Miles Driven: 180

After jump-starting the van with the power pack, we left the campground and continued on the Bighorn Highway to Grande Prairie, about 42 miles. At Grande Prairie we took Hwy 43 toward Dawson Creek passing through the community of Beaverlodge, home of what must be the largest beaver statue anywhere. We reached Dawson Creek, British Columbia, the official start of the Alaska Highway and of course took pictures of the sign. About 17 miles out of Dawson Creek we took a short loop road to Kiskatinaw Provincial Park. The road follows the “original old” Alaska Highway and you cross the historic curved wooden Kiskatinaw River Bridge. Back on the “new” Alaska Highway at mile marker 21 we continued on to Fort St John, British Columbia and spent the night at the Roost Motel.
