Rochfort Bridge Trestle in Alberta

We came upon this train trestle unexpectedly, while driving north of Edmonton. This trestle is one of the longest wooden bridge trestles in North America if not the longest. It is 110 feet high and crosses over the Paddle River and Hwy 43. Quite a spectacular sight.
 
     


Beaverlodge

We had to take a picture of this giant, wooden beaver at the edge of the town of Beaverlodge.
 
     


Dawson Creek

If you can read this plaque, it tells about the history of the Alaska Highway
 
     


Plaque for Alaska Highway

This plaque is in Dawson Creek. It tells a little about the Alaska Highway. We will visit the visitors' center tomorrow and learn more, so stay tuned.
 
     


Nancy at the Alaska Hiway

Just to prove we were there.
 
     


Joe too

And Joe was there too.
 
     


Surveyor

Fortunately, this surveyor pointed the way to Alaska, and also was kind enough to be pointing to our RV Park, Northern Lights.
 
     


Street Sign

Tomorrow we will go into Dawson's Creek. Our agenda tomorrow includes Visitors' Center and the Farmer's Market. It will be interesting to see what fruits and vegetables they have up here and get ready for our journey. It is about 1500 miles to Tok, Alaska.
