Sharp's Travels
We were up early and closed up our rig so we would be ready to go. At 11:30 some of our group walked up town for the parade and we drove some of them up in the van.
There were lots of booths set up with food and craft items. We ate our way around the booths and then watched the small parade.
We all headed back to the park and were ready to pull out at 2pm. Off to Hyder we go!
We took our last look at some totem poles and the old church in a small village and were on our way again.
The scenery was beautiful. The Fire Weed along the highway was so bright and colorful.
We only had 170 miles to go today. At mile 110 we left the group and went on ahead to get things set up at the campground. We passed beautiful waterfalls, coming from way up on the mountain, plunging down over the cliffs. What a site. There were a number of glaciers and we were surprised how much snow there was so close to the bottom of the mountains. The rivers were full and the current was so swift, I hate to get caught up in them.
We saw 4 bears along the road on our way into Hyder. One popped right up out of the ditch and Gay had to slam on the brakes to keep from hitting it. Another one walked right along in the ditch by the side of the road and I was able to get a few pictures of it. The third one we only got a glimpse of as it ran into the woods. We also spotted one a distance away in the river.
Our group was only about 20 miles behind us and that did not give us much time at all to try and plan where everyone was to be parked. We got help from Spike & Roger so in about 30 minutes everyone was set up.
Spike had a little meeting to give us the layout of the land and everyone was off to the Blue Bus for dinner. At 9pm we took a group in the van to the Bear Viewing Station and were lucky enough to see a grizzly bear walking along the edge of the water. Tomorrow we hope to see more bears.
It has been a long busy day. It’s time to turn in.
