Day 27 – Thursday, July 26th (321 miles, Fort St. John, BC to Edson, AB):
Today was an easier day of riding, with not much diverse scenery to see. Most of the ride was on long, straight roads in the middle of farmland and it reminded me of the plains and open fields in Kansas or one of the flat Midwestern states.
I ran into some light rain in the morning, but other than that it was a clear and warm day. An hour or so into my ride, I came to the famous town of Dawson Creek. This is the beginning of the Alaskan Highway if you are heading north towards Alaska. I stopped to fill up gas and took a few pictures of the Dawson Creek sign and then continued heading east.
When I arrived in Grand Prairie, AB I went to the visitor center to get some coffee and wifi and then quickly got back onto my bike to finish the last few hours of my trip for the day. I eventually made it to Edson, AB, my destination for the night, which sits about an hour or so east of Jasper National Park, checked into my hotel, and called it a night.
