Day 11 (0 miles) (July 8) by Madison

We took the day off today here at Dawson Creek, mile zero of the Alcan Highway. It drizzled almost all morning. As dad worked on cleaning all the bike chains, we read books and napped in the tent until about noon. After relaxing in the tent, we went to an art gallery that was in a historic converted grain elevator. Then we went to a museum that showed the history of the Alcan. After PB and J’s for lunch, we took a picture with a Mountie at the mile 0 sign. In the afternoon, we walked through town and looked at the murals, which were really creative. Then we went to a Chinese restaurant for dinner. We went back to camp and decided to go play on the seesaws. There was also a car show that day with some really neat old cars. Of course during our expedition I (Madison) have decided I like that really tiny-looking, new car. It’s called a Pulse (the car you can see on Wii commercials or the Pink Panther with Inspector Cluzoe). We talked to a lady here who said that she came all the way up here in a Pulse from Vancouver on just 61 dollars for gas.
