Day 24 found us leaving the wilderness. All I can say is, what a way to go. The first part of our drive down BC 37 was filled in a drizzle with clouds obscuring the mountains but slowly the sun began shine. British Columbia has some of the most spectacular scenery that we have seen. The mountains in the northern part of the province are snow capped wonders much like the Tetons of Yellowstone.
We took a side trip to an Alaskan ghost town down BC 37A. This route was suggested to us by a couple that we met from Minnesota. The route should be called the bears,
waterfalls,
and glaciers highway.
We saw one glacier, Avalanche Glacier that came right up to the road.
When we got to the Alaskan ghost town of Hyder we never found the Grizzly bears my buddy Tommy told me we would see there.
I think that was because the salmon had not yet begun their run.
The last three hours of our eleven hour day was driven in rain which sometimes was a deluge. I was glad to see Prince George and the end of the rain. Thankfully it didn't really begin to rain until we had passed into the less scenic leg of today's drive.
Tonight we are at a Best Western in Prince George, BC. Tomorrow we head toward Seattle, WA to meet my daughter Katy and her husband Jason on Monday.
Babs Says: Grizzly bears are so much fun to watch. They seem to look at you and then put on a little show. Black bears are scareier. They look so cute and cuddly, but look at you as if they are contemplating their next meal.
Breakfast today was so good-King’s Muffins-poached eggs (NRWS), ham, tomato, cheese on English muffins. Yum!
Looking forward to being back in the USA and seeing Katy & Jason in Seattle.
