This picture was taken at our current campground in Stewart, BC. No picture can do justice to the majesty and beauty of BC, YT and AK. It’s like the Grand Canyon, you have to see it in person. The mountains up here are just spectacular.7/30/10: We continued South on Cassiar Highway today to Stewart, BC. It was another beautiful day and an equally beautiful drive. We stopped for lunch at a nice lodge in Bell, BC, joined by fellow travelers from 5 other rigs. On the way down to Stewart, located at the head of the Portland Canal, a narrow saltwater fjord approximately 90 miles long, we passed many glaciers (see pictures of some of them attached to the email forwarding this blog). After dinner, we gathered into car pools to drive over to Hyder, AK, just a few miles away, to a bear watching area alongside a creek where salmon were starting to run. There were some salmon working their way up the creek, but, unfortunately, no bears. We were told that we were a few weeks too early. In a few weeks there would be more salmon and, of course, more bears.
7/31/10: Today was a Free Day. The first order of business was to get my car washed…I’m not even sure what color it is any more. We wandered around town in the morning…didn’t take long, it’s very small. At 5:00 p.m. this evening, the host held a Bash for all those that had birthdays or anniversaries during the caravan. Cake was served and gifts were given to all from the hosts, small comical gifts that meant something to each receiver. Throughout our caravan, Marcia has been looking for a USA Today newspaper. She finally realized that she wasn’t going to find one in the Canadian portion of our travels, but was really taken back when she found none in Alaska, which is a US State. She was given a USA Today, a week old, but a USA Today. The hosts had found it in Juneau.
