Alcan Road Trip Day 5 - Fort Nelson to Grande Prairie


Day 5 - Fort Nelson to Grande Prairie. 363.4 miles



Not as scenic today.  Drove right through Dawson Creek, which is milepost 0 of the Alcan.  Apparently I missed the tourist-y part of town.  Came across a huge wildfire burn scar.  Also crossed another time zone as I went into Alberta.  I will note, on the amateur radio front, I started to get into more regular VHF APRS coverage here.
