August 10/09 Hyder, AK

We are in Stewart/Hyder today, got into town yesterday afternoon. How correct the travel books are, it does feel like one is stepping back in time. After dinner we went to the "Sealaska  Inn" and met up with Robin, a friend of a friend of ours from Burnaby.  We will be doing the town tour later today, we can't go up to the "Salmon Glacier" as the road up to it has been washed out. We can't send any pictures from here, as the Internet is only dial-up and way to slow, so will add pic's at a later date. The drive down  Hwy #37 from Watson Lake to Meziatin Junction is one of the more scenic drives in BC. Some rough spots, but generally pretty good.

A couple of days ago we were in Carcross YK, spend the night there and the next day we walked around the very interesting little town, at one time, the terminus of the White Pass & Yukon railroad. From there you would go by Paddle-wheeler to Whitehorse.
