47 degrees this morning but it warmed up to 55 by the end of the day. We left the awful campground at Iscut and continued on the BC 37 Highway, lots of log trucks and big transport trucks. Riding along seeing the sights
and Iris spotted this black bear on the side of the road.
We took the cutoff for BC 37A and that was 38 miles to Stewart BC then across the US border into Hyder AK with no inspection at all, not even a hut. Apparently there is little danger as this little strip of Alaska quickly runs out of road but not before you are back in Canada. At one time
these two towns were united and we can’t find out why the split of the towns and creation of an international border. When you leave Hyder you do have to go through Canadian Customs before being allowed to enter Stewart from Hyder. After arriving in our campground, Camp Run-a-muck, in Hyder we got the grill out and fixed a nice ribeye from our freezer and enjoyed it with salad. After a long nap we were watching a DVD, no TV or cable here, when Susan beat on our motorhome to tell us about the bear in the campground. Bob went out to see and sure enough the bear was wandering around one of the trailers nearby and very close to the tent campers. Who is dumb enough to camp in a tent in this place?
After this excitement we finished our movie and had a long snooze.
