We finally finished our mining season and got back on the road, our first destination being Vancouver where niether of us have ever been. We took the desolate yet scenic Stewart-Cassier hwy and first made a slight detour to the tiny Alaskan town of Hyder, which is on a peninsula, completely un-attached to the rest of the state. This area is known for its snowfall, and according to one local, its common to get up to 40 feet in one winter. We visited the Salmon glacier which is massive – ice as far as you can see – and then got back on the road south.

Hey guys, looks like you’re having a once in a lifetime experience! Thanks for sharing your journey with everyone. You’ll love Vancouver and its surroundings, try to get out to Victoria via ferry to Nanaimo while you’re out there. Great places to visit. I have friends and family out there and have been many times myself. I”m sure you’ll love the area and enjoy a little rest. Have a continuing safe journey and hope to see you both when you return. Regards, Peter.
