On toward Stewart BC and Hyder

We are realizing that our time in Alaska is drawing to a close with only one more stop actually in the state. That will be in Hyder, the only town on the eastern side of the lower panhandle of Alaska. Our drive from Skagway to Hyder will take us over a bit of the ALCAN highway in British columbia that we had travelled coming north. We planned to stop again at Mukluk Annie's near Teslin south of the Teslin bridge seen in the photo. However, we got there earlier than we wanted to stop so continued on to Continental Divide RV Park. Pat's arm was beginning to be very painful.

We continued on to Watson Lake where we viewed the Signpost Forrest again and bought diesel fuel at $1.15 CN pe liter and some groceries. Backtracking a few miles, we left the Alaska Highway turning south onto the Cassiar Highway, It runs through a long and sparsely populated area of western British Columbia, really beautiful and isolated country with both broad and narrow valleys and some very nice lakes.

We chose to stop and camp at Kinaskan Provincial Park south of Iskut, BC. the park is on a beautiful lake and we had a very clean campsite right on the water with great views of the scenery from the lakeshore. The park fee was taken in US currency as $11.

In the morning we were off down the Cassiar to the turn to Stewart and Hyder.
