More of Dawson Creek, BC

Near the sign welcoming you to Mile 0 on the Alaska Highway is a rotary (a circle to you from NJ where they were pretty much invented) and in the center of the rotary is a scrap iron sculpture of a surveyor pointing the way to Fairbanks as he begins to lay out the path the highway will follow. Karl Mattson. The iron came from the surrounding farms.

On the northwest corner of the rotary is the visitors' center and adjacent to that is an art gallery in an old grain elevator.

There were "only" a dozen or so paintings Terry and I would have liked to have purchased.
