Grande Prairie, Alberta
Staying South of Jasper Park, after driving from Dawson Creek today. Early in the day, just south of Grand Prairie, Alberta, he came upon a very bad accident. A mini van had swerved in front of a fuel tanker, and the traffic was stopped for about an hour, waiting on the helicopter to take the injured from the wreck. He drove through cool temperatures, clouds and a little rain, with temperatures in the low 60's. (of course, it is 104 degrees here in Tahlequah) He said that Grand Prairie was a very new, modern busy town, with lots of the usual big town stores....then, he drove 100 miles before getting to a gas station!! During the day, he saw elk and caribou, along the road. Heading toward the Jasper Park, down Icefield Parkway, and on toward the USA Border tomorrow.
