We made it to Fort Nelson, BC. The drive was easy and uneventful other than it rained lightly all day.
On the way up to Fort Nelson we saw our first bear of this trip.
It has been very cold and rainy here but we ventured out to the visitors center and the Fort Nelson Heritage Museum. The last time we were through here in 2014 we skipped the museum thinking it was a tourist trap. However, it was really cool. We watched a 40 minute video on the construction of the Alaskan Highway and waited for Sierra to take us on a private tour of Marlin's "Marl's" antiques.
Marl came out to greet us and gave us a private tour of his antique cars. He ran up his water pump for us. It was hilarious!

Sierra then took us around the other buildings and the old Fort Nelson Generator.
Tomorrow we head to Liard Hot Springs. The weather calls for rain and snow on the mountain passes. I am not looking forward to driving this rig on sloppy slippery snow.
