Bloggy Goes North To Alaska, Day 2

Quesnal, British Columbia to Fort Nelson, British Columbia

Today was rough. The Travelnatrix was horrid – bitchy, mean, and completely immune to logic and sense.  How bad was she? Well, she insisted on driving the entire 12ish hours from Quesnal to Fort Nelson, and when Mr_Bloggy volunteered, multiple times, during night driving to have her pull over on the side of the road so he could wash off the inches of brown grime accumulated from a highway coated with gravel, snow melting chemicals of unknown origin, and what appeared to be nasty dirt, she refused and insisted she could see just fine, despite the headlight projection approximating that of a weak, cheap, 2 D battery craplight purchased for $.99 at the Dollar Store.  Finally, during a fogbank of pea soupish proportions outside of Fort Nelson, at night, she pulled over with hazard lights a-blinking to let Mr_B quickly remedy the situation/Mr_Bloggy.
