Mile "0" on "The Alcan" Onward to Alaska

The guest blogger here; we arrived in Dawson Creek, where other caravans meet and start the trek for Alaska.

To get to know our fellow travelers we played a round of playing card bingo.  We stopped at 7 places and collected a card at each location.  From those we had to make the best 5 card poker hand.  Didn't place.  Its hard to beat 5 aces.  Most of the locations were taverns and pubs, and of course we had to try out the local brews.
