NTA Day 18

Laundry is done, holding tanks are dumped, and it's time to head further north.  We stopped in Hinton and fueled the bus, and then up Alberta highway 40 to Grande Prairie.  The highway is reputed to be the scenic route to Alaska, but the realty is really not so much.  It is pretty in the south end, but soon you get into the Alberta oil fields, and it becomes quite congested, In addition, the highway is being upgraded in many areas, so there are delays in the construction zones.  There was one bear sighted along the way, but he/she did not stick around for a closeup photo.  We spent the night at Camp Tamarack in Grand Prairie.  During the night the rain settled in.  Milepost 3483.
