We departed Stewart, BC late morning.  Beautiful Mtns covered with fog.  Everywhere we’ve been in Canada and Alaska, we’ve seen lots of men and women on bikes….loaded down with their gear.    What great shape they are in for the mountains.  Fall is just around the corner.  The amazing Bear Family.    Mama Bear and her 3 cubs were safely away from the highway grazing. Then, she decided to get them to the safety of the woods. They weren’t following her so she stood up and called them!  As she approached the woods, it appeared she was going to climb a tree.   But, instead, she climbed just a few feet and jumped off to keep going into the woods. One by one, each cub, did EXACTLY as she had done.   Up the tree and jumped off. Cub #2 And Cub #3. And all 4 disappear into the woods.    MOST amazing thing I’ve seen.    (you can probably imagine just how many pictures I took of that….even though it only lasted very a few minutes). Sights along the way. We stayed in Houston, BC for the night.    SW of us the road has been closed for the China Rose Wildfire, but it is now open.   Lots of smoke in the area so we are hoping we they remain open tomorrow so we can pass.      In the meantime, the owners of Shady Rest RV Campground have beautiful flowers everywhere we look.    The Dahlia’s up here are the largest I’ve ever seen.  And the begonia’s too.  Greenhouse where she grows delicious Tomatoes.

While we were in Iskut, BC, we ran into a couple (actually 2 couples traveling together) that we’d been in the same park with at 5 other locations.   They told us about taking a side trip off of BC37 to Stewart, BC/Hyder, AK.    So Raymond and I decided to do that side trip.  We wanted a little time to rest before pushing on to Seattle.

What a nice stop.   Campground was great and Roger and Kay, and Bill and Kaye, we parked next to us.     Roger and Kay asked us to join them to see the Bears at Fish Creek Overlook Park and drove us up to Salmon Glacier.     So much fun!   Looking forward to seeing them again soon.

We have turned South on Stewart-Cassier Hwy (BC37).  We stopped to enjoy this Ruffed Grouse family cross the highway.  Jade City, BC      Coming to The Discovery Channel this Fall.  Look how high they place their fire hydrants.

Narrow roads with no center lines and drop offs.   Always an Adventure.

When you are driving a rig that is over 60′ long, you always wonder about being able to get out when you turn on a road like this….to get to an RV park.    LOL We pick our parks carefully, usually when Class A RV fit so do we!   And this is the view from the office.     Nice!

Plenty of grounds to walk around.

Beautiful short hike through the woods to get to this lake.   IF anyone is interested, this 203 acre RV park is For Sale.  Startled another family of Grouse as we walked through the woods.
