Hyder Alaska

We found the costa Rica of Alaska--what a funky little town Staying at Camp Run A Muck .Last accesible southern Alaskan town by hyway.You come into Stewart BC down this long windy road thru many avallance passes ,river on one side and glaciers.Visiting Englishman stoppped at rest pic stop no emerg brake not in park to take pic and over the rental rv goes over the bank into the river below the glacier--geez.Now the canadians call england to make sure the wife was not inthe rv --suspence--she was still in england --they let him go.Also driving down the mountain into Stewart we noticed this incredible smell earthy glacier river who knows --but bottle it wow! One of the best places got to come back here again seafood we are getting dungeoness crabs every nite --much better than the lobo.So we are camped close to Fish creek the best viewing spot for the bears running up or down the creek catching the salmom .Yesterday had a Griizz and cub in sight for an hour in the creek chowing down.Today twenty mile trip north gravel road up 4000 ft to many glaciers including Salmon glacier one of canada's big one.
