DAWSON CREEK

JEFF AND S CROW LEFT US ABOUT 20 MILES WEST OF DAWSON CREEK. 

I WANTED TO GO TO DAWSON CREEK TO SEE WHAT IT WAS ALL ABOUT.  WHAT A WASTE OF TIME.  THE ONLY THING THERE TO SEE WAS IT WAS THE OFFICIAL BEGINNING OF THE ALASKAN HIGHWAY.

WE FIND A PLACE TO STAY SOUTH OF TOWN.  ROBERT HAS BEEN WORKING WITH BAILEY TO FIND BEAR.  HE YELLS BEAR AND BAILEY START LOOKING AROUND FOR A BEAR.  SO PARKED RIGHT NEXT TO US IS THIS FIFTH WHEEL WITH A BIG BEAR PAINTED  ON THE SIDE OF IT.  BAILEY LOOKS OVER AND FINALLY WITH HER FAILING EYESIGHT SHE THINKS SHE SEES A BEAR.  SHE STARTS BARKING AND GROWLING AND LOOKING AT ME. THEN JUMPS OUT OF THE MOTORHOME TO "ATTACK" THE BEAR. ( I DIDN'T SAY SHE WAS SMART).  WHEN SHE GETS ON THE GROUND SHE IS STILL BARKING AND GROWLING AND SNIFFING THE AIR.  WHEN SHE FINALLY REALIZES IT'S NOT REAL, I UP INSIDE THE MOTORHOME LAUGHING SO HARD I ALMOST PEED MYSELF.

ROBERT LETS HER SIT ON HIS LAP WHILE HE IS DRIVING AND LOOK OUT THE WINDOW.  SHE HAS HIM TRAINED THAT IF SHE SCRATCHES AT THE WINDOW HE WILL PUT IT DOWN AND SHE CAN STICK HER HEAD OUT.  AND THEN THEY BOTH BARK AT THE CARS GOING BY.  THIS ADVENTURE MAY BE  GOING ON TOO LONG.
