I had hoped to dump there, but was cursed by one of my biggest pet peeves&#8211;single signage. That is, there&#8217;s a sign indicating that there is a dump &#8216;that way&#8217;, but once you go &#8216;that way&#8217; there are no further signs. So, I gave up and resigned myself to full hookups in Dawson Creek. Chetwynd was a surprisingly full service town with a lot of big name stores. It is considered to be the &#8216;most livable small town in BC.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, my house battery is behaving strangely for the first time since I installed it, so I wasn&#8217;t comfortable with the idea of doing two or three more nights without hooks.\u00a0 The issue is that my voltage was only at 12.2 when I parked last night when, after a full three nights on plugged in at 15A, it should have been fully charged at 13.2v! Very worrisome&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I pulled into Dawson Creek just shy of noon this morning and am comfortably settled in the okay, but nothing spectacular, and quite noisy Mile 0 RV Park. Staff is unfriendly. Hookups and wi-fi are good.<\/p>\n<p>Now that I&#8217;m all caught up, I&#8217;m off to explore. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This was a short, easy driving day with a definite end goal, the Mile 0 RV Park in Dawson Creek.
