Days 18-21st


Days 18-21nd the 3th of August,

As we left Johnson's Crossing we had a great start roads were good, but as all good there is a bad and the roads got bad again, then good again. We made it back to Watson Lake and then we started our new adventure on route 37 toward Steward. Once we turned onto 37 it was like going back in time the road was narrow but good. We went by lots of beautiful lakes, mountains and streams as well as mossy fields. We saw a fox, 2 moose and 4 bears. Some of the little towns were Good hope lake, Centerville,Cassiar and Jade City we stopped here and looked around.We drove 260 miles and decided to pull over at a rest area, by Dease Lake, there were 2 other big rigs there also.



The next day (day 20) we drove by Iskut (asmall Tahltan Native community), Bell Lodge 1 and 2 climed a range of 4400 feet, we had the Skeena Mountains and the Cassiar Mountain to the south, all around us. As we got closer to Steward the mountains got closer and then there it was the glacier mountains.



We set up came at Rainny creek campgound, it is right in the side of a mountain, it like a rain forest.

Day 20. We drove around to the town of Hyder which is in Alaska, Steward in in BC. There is only 100 people in Hyder. This is were the Bear viewing is. We have to cross back into BC Canada each time we go only 2 miles into Alaska we have to go through the boarder portrol.



Day 21 we are going to see the bears in Hyder. We stayed for 2 hours and saw nothing, and then here she came with her cub. What a great experence that was to see.
I will add pictures when we have a better cont.
