Yellowhead Highway from Jasper to Grande Prairie

This morning started sunny but we encountered rain (again) as we approached Grande Cache, Alberta.  About 250 miles total today from Jasper to Grande Prairie, Alberta.  We are now camped at the Country Roads RV Park in Grande Prairie until Wednesday morning to shop, do laundry, catch up on the internet postings, and clean a few things before we head up the Alaska Highway on Wednesday.  

We are still struggling a bit with the internet access so be patient if we don't post for a few days.  Grande Prairie is a good size city with all the big box stores and restaurants.

Our plan is to depart early Wednesday for Dawson Creek, British Columbia – the start of the Alaska Highway.

RV Travel Report:

We left Jasper this morning on Trans Canada 16 eastbound until joining the Yellowhead Highway (Trans Canada 40).   Highway 16 is wide and smooth to the Junction.  Highway 40 is winding northward in a series of ascents and descents.  The road has patches of modestly rough surface as it climbs toward Grande Cache.  North of there the road improves markedly while continuing to climb and descend at about 3,700 feet above sea level.
