Twenty-seven days and a zillion miles! The AC'12 Convoy returned to Milepost 0 with a short 46-mile run from Ft. St. John, British Columbia, to Dawson Creek.

Tonight there will a Banquet, with I'm sure all kinds of fun and memories shared.  In the morning will be a breakfast for the AC'12 participants.

Tourism Dawson Creek has the convoy's return highlighted on their calendar with a big red background!
Dawson Creek is Khaki Green once again!
Help us welcome back the MVPA Convoy on August 30th at 12 Noon at the EnCana Events Centre (300 Hwy 2, Dawson Creek).
The Convoy has travelled the Alaska Highway for 27 days and over 4000 miles! Dawson Creek is excited to welcome the Convoy back to Mile 0 on Thursday, August 30, 2012.
The historic military vehicles will be on display from 12 noon onward. Everyone is welcome to attend!

Day 26 - Aug 29: A Return to the Peace River Country

AC'12 Day 26 travel route
Today is the last really big leg for AC'12 convoy. They will travel some 240 miles from Ft. Nelson, British Columbia, to Ft. St. John.

Ft. St. John is said to be the oldest European settlement in British Columbia, dating back to Rocky Mountain House or Fort in 1794. During the building of the Alaska Highway, Ft. St. John served as Headquarters for the project.

The convoy will overnight here, and prepare for the final leg of their journey tomorrow.
