Yes, indeedy the Americans are coming . . . I spotted the first RV from the USA this morning on the highway, heading north to Alaska.
Clearly, spring has arrived.
From now on out, every day, there will be more and more Americans on the World-Famous Alaska Highway, heading out into the wilderness. Every single year this happens. As we progress into May, rather than seeing a single RV or maybe a pair, there will be dozens of them travelling together, northbound.
This, more than the melting snow, more than the budding trees, more than the potholes emerging from the snow, is a sign of spring in the BC Peace region. When our neighbours to the south, decide it's either too hot down there, or that it must be warm enough up here by now, to make the long trek to Alaska.
For some, it truly is a long trek. I've seen license plates from as far away as Texas, California, Arizona and Florida. Once I even saw one from Hawaii. Yes, Hawaii!! I couldn't believe my eyes. Had to turn around and follow that guy, just to make sure. Certainly, he was driving a car, not an RV, but a car in northeastern British Columbia with Hawaii license plates?? Call me crazy, but that was something to see!
So watch out for that bumper to bumper traffic folks, the Americans are coming . . . and are bringing the warmer weather with them!
