2007/07/12 – Thursday – Back in Alaska

We left camp about 8:45

I pulled out and the tire alarm came on again, so I pulled over again and filled the tire to match the other tire.

We were stopped in three different construction zones.

The roads were rough in places and a few places that have gravel.

About ½ hour before our lunch stop the road turned really good compared what I have been driving for the last two days.

Lunch was at a roadside turnout called Bob Quinn Lake Airport.

Our next stop was at Bell 2 for some gas.

When we got to the intersection, the road going straight was the road to Stewart, Canada, and Hyder Alaska, so off we went.

We crossed into Hyder with out any fan fair – no customs, or boarder crossing station. (But we will have to go through one to get back into Canada)

We found the RV camp and made camp. I also setup the satellite.

I unload the van, and we headed on up the road to go see the Salmon Glacier. The road was ruff with lots of potholes. We went as far as we could, the road has not been cleared of all the snow near the top.

On the way back we stopped at the Fish Creek Viewing, but no bears yet, the salmon have not started their spawning.

We returned back to town and finally found a place to eat, but after driving all the way down a planked pier and back.

After dinner, we did some souvenir shopping. We also stopped at the local dump to see if we could find some bears. We found two big bears and two baby bears.

We watched Narnia
