Hyder & south

8-01-09



Last night after watching the bears and salmon we decided to go out for dinner. During the day we had asked several people where the best place to get seafood. Everyone said The Bus. All agreed there were some other very nice restaurants in the area, but The Bus was the best. We found it but unfortunately due to a power outage it was closed. A picture posted.


We left Hyder this morning about 9:00 AM and were surprised to see fog over the water. This is really a special place. There are some very different houses throughout this small town. As we left we took of some of them and more pictures of the glaciers.


As we were leaving we saw a spot in the road that we had traveled yesterday that had washed away by the raging river. It's been unusually hot here and the snow is melting rapidly.



A hundred miles south of the junction of hwy 37a (to Hyder) and hwy 37 the landscape changed to farmland, there seemed to be hay everywhere, large rolls, not bales that I usually see. We also passed through some lumber towns. We also saw huge clouds of smoke in a couple of places, the result of wildfires.


We ended the day at Burns Lake, we drove 300 miles today and only have a little over 1500 miles to home
