PETE: Today’s journey led us from Stewart, BC to Iskut, BC. Mother nature decided to bless us with a slight shower which was almost enough to wash off the dust. Here’s what the scenery is outside Stewart leading out of the valley. We decided to spend more time viewing the Bear Glacier since we only had a chance to drive by the glacier on the way into the valley. This is our first glacier and we’re looking forward to seeing many more glaciers during our Alaskan Trek.
Saw another black bear. I just love seeing wild creatures in their natural habitat. Hope we continue to see more bears. Having said that, we spotted our second bear of the leg of this trip. The black bear stuck around long enough for a couple of poses and then decided to go back into the woods.
The remaining part of today’s leg was nothing special until you remember that you’re in British Columbia, Canada and that it has wonderful scenery. Here’s a taste of what we saw down the road to our next RV Park.
A nice thing about traveling is the great people you meet along the way. One such couple we have met are Debbie and Terry from Iowa. We first met them briefly in Hazelton, BC. They left before we departed Hazelton for Stewart, BC. As we approached Stewart we checked out Bear River RV Park and decided to keep going to Hyder, AK to see what there was. As we were pulling out we spotted Debbie and Terry pulling in. Turned out they traveled into Hyder with their Class A RV only to find nothing worthwhile. After having driven the truck into Hyder later, we were very thankful for the information they provided. We later decided to meet again in Iskut, BC. We kind of formed an impromptu 2 unit caravan. Here is the priceless scenery at the Mountain Shadow RV Park in Iskut, BC where we spent the night.
So far, the road conditions of the Cassiar Highway have been relatively nice as long as you pay attention to the ‘slow’ signs that warn you. Hopefully, the road will continue to be decent. Knock on wood …
