Monday, August 1, 2011 To Stewart, B.C.

We are off today for another 242 miles.  For most of the trip it was dry; however, we don't have many days w/rain at some point.  We passed a lot of beautiful rivers, lakes and mountains.


As you can see, the clouds are coming down lower so that always means rain somewhere along the way.












We stopped at the  Tatogga Lake Resort Restaurant for  lunch -homemade bread for sandwiches and soup.  Yummy!!


We came around the corner and saw the Bear Glacier.  At some  point, it was right up to the road.  Then again, some day, it will even be higher.
















After settling in at the campground, we went out for a fish dinner at the Seafood Express Diner.  It is hard to see, but they cook the food in a bus.  Don't laugh the Halibut was very good.  And, oh yes, I'm still eating fish.  Quite good since we know it is fres.








We then took a ride to a viewing area to see bears and we weren't dissappointed. It is very beautiful in the middle of the woods. They have a walkway to keep the people safe.  Shortly after we got there, a bear did come out and ate three salmons. 

























We  heard about this drink in Hyder, Alaska, just across the border from Stewart.  It's called being "Hyderized".  Needless to say, while in Rome!!!  We gave it a shot and to prove that it was straight alcohol, the waitress turned over the glasses and lit a match.  You see the results below.  It was great fun and we were able to walk afterwards. 















I'm doing this posting Tuesday morning sitting outside by the office as we don't have wifi access in our RV's so excuse any errors as I have a bad reflection on the screen.  I didn't even have time to really check out the photo's I used today.  Hopefully, they are okay.  Have to run and start another day.Posted by Picasa
