We left Fairbanks and traveled across the border without incident. You just never know when they will decide to check your rig and then you have to put everything back in. We stopped just north of the Cassier Hwy. There was a fire which encompassed 2200 acres. The traffic was held up till in the am and we had to wait for three hrs until a pilot car escorted the group through. We landed near Hyder, Ak which is just off the Canadian border. We saw 9 black bears and went to the salmon spawning area. This is a very sad sight for sure. They start to die when the salmon are in fresh water and many were bottoms up. There were hundred of females making there egg beds by flipping their tails and then they will lay their eggs. The males were close behind...Not much different than humans. .... The males would fight off any other males that came close to the lady they planned to squirt their "milk" on. We then traveled 20 miles further with the Jeep and saw a glacier. This is salmon glacier the 5th largest in Canada. It was GRAND. We saw the bottom and traveled up the road and saw the summit. Wow. We got to see three really neat things in just one day. The weather was sunny and 74. Then, we went in a desserted copper/silver mine. The town of Hyder is dirt roads, the post office is a trailer, and is at sea level. They get 26 ft of snow each winter. We are heading to Sumas, Wash. and hope to be there to clean the motorcoach and Jeep. Birdie had blueberry waffles for breakfast and Halibut for supper. I have learned how to take care of him even though I am going through "mentalpause".. Love to all.....
