Sharp's Travels

Everyone was on their own this morning. We could travel at our leisure from Hyder to our lunch break 98 miles on up HWY 37 at Bell II Lodge.

We left the campground by 7:20am and we slowly made our way up the highway stopping to take pictures as we wanted. The scenery was fabulous---lots of waterfalls.

We arrived at the 98 mile marker at 10:30am. We went into the restaurant at 11am for lunch. We had their clam chowder and we split a sandwich. It was all very good.

By noon we were on the road again. We traveled with the Coast Mountains on one side and the Skeena Mountains on the other. Breathtaking views!

One of the units in our caravan had a flat tire and our mechanic was right there and changed it for them and they were back on the road in no time.

The second unit had an overheating problem. The tail gunner & our mechanic stopped with him to check things our. They had him drop the car he was towing and limped on into the campground with him. They will be able to get a better look at then. Our mechanic will have a busy night trying to fix everyone’s problems.

As people were setting up, the unit next to ours couldn’t put one of their slides out. He will have to leave the group tomorrow and head into Whitehorse and get it fixed and join up with us again in Skagway.

We did 245 miles today. We had road construction to deal with and we were all tired when we arrived at the park.
