7/18
In the morning we did our laundry and at noon went to the library to check email and do some internet business. Then we ate lunch and by 1 pm we were on the road, a road with tall trees on both sides and an occasional view of mountains. At the end of the day we begin to see civilization again. Outside of Dawson Creek several miles we took a side road that cut off several miles. It was beautiful countryside with unusual hill formations. The Peace River runs through the valley. .Crops are growing and livestock graze the fields. Parts of the roads were very bumpy but it was worth the detour for the beauty. As we rose up out of the valley we crossed the river on a beautiful suspension bridge. At the west end of the river was the Bennet Dam. We stayed the night at a rest area just a few miles from Chetwynd, BC.
