Reaching the US - Canadian Border

Our last night in Canada, we camped out in the parking lot of a casino.  We arrived just before the kitchen closed and had a wonderful dinner!!  This was where we parted ways with our friends, Alyce and John and their dog, Maggie.  They were heading off for a visit with friends and we were planning to spend the night at my brother, Rollie's house again.

Our last night in Canada

There's no doubt that Canada is one beautiful country!!!

Entering the border town of Hope.

Crossing into the United States - home again!

Continuing south through Dawson Creek

As we drove south, we came to Dawson Creek, where the Alaska Highway Sign appears.  For those who come through from the south, this is the beginning of their drive on the Alaska Highway.  For us, this marked the end of our trip on the long Alaska Highway.  

 

As we drove on, we passed through the town of Chetwynd, where we discovered a collection of wood carvings that were fascinating. 

Another beautiful mural!!

Heading south from Liard Hotsprings

As much as we all hated to admit it, it was time to start seriously heading south toward home.  We still had about a week,  but we had seen the last of Alaska...at least for this trip.

 The Canadian vistas are amazing!!!

As we rounded the bend, we almost hit a couple of rock sheep that were enjoying the sunny day!

We glanced off to the side of the road and saw a caribou running along!

It's really hard to get a grasp on the huge expanse of country everywhere you go!
