We headed down the Cassiar from our campsite on the lake. What a great drive and the second day on the Cassiar the hwy improved greatly. Very little construction and almost no gravel. It is a great drive between the mountains and the river next to you with lots of lakes. You are now higher in altitude because you can see snow on the mountains and the vegetation has changed again to large fir and aspen and ash and birch trees.
We left on the short road to Steward and Hyder (Steward is the Canadian town and Hyder is in Alaska (its most southern port and city).
This drive is really neat you go by the Bear Paw Glacier and wind along the river with forest all around you. We saw two bears today (black) and we were able to photograph one of them. We stopped in Stewart to refuel and found that the credit card company has shut off my credit card again. You would think after telling them twice that I am on an extended trip thru Canada that they could get it fixed. Anyway sorry Dr. E but I had to use the office card a couple of times.
We found a lovely campsite in Steward in the municipal park right next to a stream.
More on Hyder next.
