Day 28 - Dawson Creek

Boy what a cold night it was last night!  We were dragging our spare blankets out to keep warm in the middle of the night.  This morning there was frost on the ground.
 
The Rotary Club at Dawson Creek cooked us breakfast of sausages, scrambled eggs and pancakes with butter and maple syrup in the hall at our campground. It was very much appreciated by the convoy members before most of them set off on their travels to return to their homes.
We will spend a couple of extra days here in Dawson Creek and take time out to rest before we hit the road again and make our way back to Vancouver where we will organise for George to be shipped home. It is a public holiday in both Canada and America this coming Monday and the children return to school on Wednesday after their summer break so it is a good time to be off the road.
For us both this has been a trip of a lifetime and one we have thoroughly enjoyed. It is now time to take it easy and explore a bit more of Canada before we return home.
 
We will still update this blog when and where we can so you all know what it is like to be RETIRED!!!

  1. What an adventure! I'm sure you will have many wonderful memories to take home with you. It was great meeting you and traveling along with you on the Convoy. Stay safe and keep in touch.

  2. Thanks Joy. I am sure the pictures will not do credit to the views and experiences we had. It was a wonderful time we all had.
