After seeing the Milepost 0 monument for the Alaska Highway and reading about its history, Aimee and I decide to go for it. The highway is two-lane and relatively smooth. Considering where we are I would say it is pretty good. We have traveled Wisconsin roads in far, far bumpier condition. The drive starts by crossing the Peace River and we see sunshine peaking thru the clouds up ahead. Finally we might have sunny weather again! Unfortunately the rain catches up to us and doesn’t stop. The landscape is monotonous in the rain. Pretty much nothing but endless rolling hills of fir trees with a few aspens thrown in.
At Milepost 357, we stop for the evening and listen to the rain pound our roof. It is hard to sleep. At this time of the year in the far North, the sun barely sets. It is late at night but it is still as bright as the middle of the day.
