Camp Run-a-Muck, Hyder, Alaska


Well, I made it to Alaska:



It was another uneventful drive. First, it was following this big river – the Skeena:



The road gets more isolated the further you go. The last 100 miles before you turn onto the Stewart/Hyder road is pretty much this:



Before Stewart is Bear Glacier:



Hyder is this little hamlet of about 100 population. A couple of BnB's and small eateries. And Camp Run-a-Muck:





I went out to Fish Creek this afternoon and stayed till 7:00 but no bears or wolves. They have been seeing wolves in the early morning, but not much in the way of bears, yet. There are lots of salmon in the creek, though.

The cars coming the other way stopped and waited for him to cross while the line I was in stayed well enough behind that he just walked all the way – right down the centerline. After lunch, I took a nap – for 3 hours! That kind of did my day in.
