 Horses, Paul, Mary (Paul's mom), and Dot near Ashcroft BC on the way to Kamloops, BC. |

 Paul and Mary. No Peter. |
 Paul's aunt Helen's lovely house in Kamloops. |
 Dot, Aunt Helen, and Mary check out the yard and view in Kamloops. The road trip with Mary was a spontaneous blast. Mary stayed on to visit with Helen while we ventured north. |

 From Kamloops we back-tracked to Cache Creek, then through Prince George, Quesnel, and up to Dawson Creek, BC (no relation to the Dawsons Creek TV show). The start of the great Alaskan highway. |
 Paul has an "I" in the back of his head. |
 Another "mile 0" shot in Dawson Creek BC, this one in the center of town. |
 Dot and van at Mile 0. As we go farther north, the days are getting longer. |
 You don't have to go to Alaska or the Yukon to see natures beauty, this is in northern BC. |
 Alaska Highway in northern BC. |
 Another shot in northern BC. Did you know that most of the Alaska highway is not in Alaska? It's not even in the US...most of it is in BC and the Yukon. |
 Muncho Lake in Northern BC, close to the Yukon border. The Alaska highway straddles this lake. |
 Muncho is a silly name for this dazzling lake. Too bad the camera couldn't capture the sparking aqua-blue properly. You have to go in person to see for yourself. |
 Now we're talking blue...more Muncho Lake. |
 Paul is bowled over by the lakes beauty. The vivid color is due to high concentration of sulphur in this region. Natural hot-springs are nearby. |
 Da plane! Da plane! |
 On the boardwalk to Liard hot springs in northern BC, not far from Muncho Lake. |
 Natural toasty hotspring, 40 degrees Celsius (over 120 F) year round! |
 Come on in, the water is boiling--I mean, fine. |
 Paul and Dot seemed to be the youngest people at the hotspring this day...does the hotspring keep you young? Or does it age you? |
 I'm cooler than all you. Gilligan-cool. |
 A garden goddess amongst the hot spring greenery. |
 Our first entrance to the Yukon. There will be many more...the Alaska highway dips in and out of BC a few more times. |
 The "Sign Post Forest" at Watson Lake in the Yukon. Travelers are encouraged to put up a sign from their hometown as they pass through. |
 Vanna Dot needs a new sign...there are only 40,000 of them so far. Please sponsor her next trip, she'll put up a sign from your hometown! |
