On the road to Fort Nelson

The pickup speaks:  It was so welcome to have the day off yesterday, when M & N spent the day in Dawson Creek (DC) and did a lot of walking.  Today I had to work again.  I am getting dirty, but I still look a lot cleaner than the local pickups around here.  Shortly after leaving DC, I was told to get off Hyway 97 and take the old Alaska Road.  I found out why very soon.  M wanted me to drive over a wood suspension bridge built in 1943, and is still in use today.  I was a bit nervous, but M was quite nostalgic, since he had gone over this same bridge 60 years ago.  I do like to drive in light traffic, and except for driving through Fort St. John,  my job was easy.  M & N were quite excited when they saw a moose and her young calf near the road.  I was thankful that she didn't run on to the road and make a mess of me.  I am also glad that mosquitoes don't bother me.  I had to wait in the parking lot for quite a spell, while M & N took a walk in the woods.  I was pretty proud of myself when M & N visited the Heritage Museum in Fort Nelson.  Those vehicles were so old, I felt like a young thing.  And of all the places I am told to go, they had me find a cemetery....again on the old Alaska hyway.  I don't understand this at all, but it has something to do with a cache...geocaching.  M was all excited,  because he found the treasure.  I am sorry about having such an appetite for fuel, especially since it comes to about $5.50 a gallon.  Oh my!  Now I heard rumblings that we will leave early tomorrow, about 6:00.  It will be a long day.  So I think I will say "Good night!"
