We plan to spend 3 nights and 2 full days in Dawson Creek, British Columbia from Friday May 8th through Monday 5/11.
Dawson Creek is the official beginning of the trek to Alaska. It has a large milepost in the center of town---Milepost 0 of the Alaskan Highway. We will be sure to get a family photo standing next to this marker and post it here.
This will also be where we get an oil change, new air filter, and add extended towing mirrors and mud flaps to the truck. Then, Alaskan Highway here we come!

Review/Photos posted 5/11/09:
Here is a photo of our family taken by the ceremonial Mile 0 Marker by the Visitor's Centre in Dawson Creek. (We traded photographer duties with another family here at the same time as us to get one of the few FAMILY photos of us!)
This is a photo of the original Mile 0 marker one block away from the Visitor's Centre. The Highway originally went down the main street of town, now it follows the railroad tracks at the edge of town.
We indeed got the oil change and new air filter here in town. The only extended mirrors were in the next town down the highway, so we didn't pick them up til the day we left. Then Randy & Jakob didn't actually get them put on for another few days!
