NTA Day 19

Today is pure rain, and the temp is in the mid 50s, which is obviously a world of difference as compared to what we left behind 19 days ago!  We made the short drive from Grand Prairie to Dawson Creek, which is milepost zero of the Alaska Highway.  The drive itself was basically over flat terrain through driving rain.  We are spending the night at Tubby's RV Park, which is basically a bathtub/mudhole in the rain.  Believe it or not, this park has a four-star rating on AllStays, which seems a bit of an exaggeration.  While this is not the worst park we've ever visited, the stars are in someone's vivid imagination.  Anyway, this afternoon we're assuming that things become a bit more rustic going north from here, so we're doing our final Walmart run and finishing preparations.    Milepost 3570, average daily progress for the first 19 days is 188 miles over North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia.  Tomorrow, it's the Alaska Highway!
