Hi: We got out of Dawson Creek at about 0900. Had to jockey around to get the car loaded on the tow dolly, as they had us so crammed in there. Had to unhook the dolly before I could get in to the spot I was assigned, and Bob did to. His spot brought his rig down in front of mine about 15 feet, and I was looking right in his side door while there. Any way, we got out of there OK and I hardly got out of sight when a truck was coming the opposite direction and kicked up a stone and it hit my side window between my drivers door and the windshield. The Glass is tempered, so it shattered, but did not fall out. It’s still there, but all cracked, and I’m sure if I touched it all the little fragements would fall out on dash. We made it to Ft. Nelson OK, about 320 miles, got a good campground, but no WiF at the motor home. Have to take the computer inside to send it, so I am writing this in the computer, then when I get to the Internet I’ll post it to the Blog.
The road here was real good. Two lanes, and we are getting up in the mountains now, so we had some hills to go. Had to drop down to second gear once on a hill coming here. We did see a Bear along the road, and a Moose slowed Bob down to let it cross the road, and some deer in the fields.
Plan to stay here two nights and hope I can get the window fixed tomorrow with a new piece of glass or plexi Glass or whatever I can find. I’m sure they won’t have a tempered piece of glass to fit the hole, and I don’t think they can cut that stuff. I know there is a DOT thing that requires tempered glass on the sides of vehicles. I’ll take the frame out of the window and take it to them and ask for plexi glass and not tell them where it is going.
Bob just came in and he has the address of the glass place in town, and the campground owner had contacted them and they expect me tomorrow around 0900 to see what they can do.. Good guy here at the campground, even if he did charge us $5.55 per gallon of gas. It’s the highest we have paid so far. Looks like my planning figure of $5 is out the window now...
We are going out to dinner in Ft Nelson tonight. Not sure where, but will get in our car and all go find a restaurant and eat something. I had Buffalo a while back, and that is now off my menue. Might try some Halibut or some such thing.. I can eat anything I want, as I weighed myself this morning and I'm still losing weight. I’ll be able to stand sideways soon and stick out my tounge and look like a zipper. Hee hee.

P.S. We watched this buffalo give birth to that calf, and it was up and eating within 30 minutes. Pretty neat...
