Eds view

OMG, what a day. Got out of Calgary and don't miss it. Didn't really see enough to be judgemental. It was a big and nice looking place. I can't say this enough, Canada has the best highways ever. Even all the way up here to Dawson Creek. We drove about 80-100 miles of nothing but timber and then all of a sudden its wheat fields and alfafa fields.We saw a huge herd of buffalo, we saw really old barns, and we saw very few people. I think it really takes a special person to live this far north. There are a ton of camper dealers in this part of Canada and we did pass alot of campgrounds. Argiculture is the real blessing on Canada. Massive farm equipment.

Dawson Creek reminds me of Elk City around 1980. Packed with roughnecks in crewcab 4x4's. It has all the trappings of a boomtown. I hope to see more of it tomorrow before we leave. It was 85 degrees today. Rain tonight and cooler tomorrow. Thought we would be in the mountains today. We'll see how it goes. 1600 miles to go!!!!
