OK, crazy picture, BUT, look closely between the fore-trees and the recreational vehicles on the road. We had a lengthy delay while the toilers labored for a fair days wage.
Hold on! We are about to ingress another port town....this one...the smallest of all!
WELCOME! You have just arrived in Stewart, British Columbia! It looks to dwell at least one resident....or is that a tourist too?
Very nearly, but not entirely, buildings were not occupied and devoid of contents potraying a ghostly nature as the wooden structures cried out with history.
Even the slow moving tide ebbed and flowed, rising and falling like a breathing creature.
This hotel once thrived with laughter and rising spirits as people gathered to bunk down after a grueling day of lumber jacking and mining.
Need provisions? This is your only choice. Sure, it has essentials....and that is all! Note the grocery carts on the roof.....you won't need them inside!
Happy Birthday Dean!
This is a far cry from the house boats on Lake Union and the Montlake cut!
Bears are a big deal in Stewart and Hyder. Everyday, sometimes several times a day, we crossed the border to view bears who frequented the nearby salmon spawning springs. We happenstanced upon the annual celebration of the returning bears. Even the Royal Canadian Mounted Police were conducting their functions required by their occupations. I want that assignment! I think I would look good in red.....
.....or do I???
We ended this fabulous day with 2 people that we have been hop-scotching with all across Alaska and Canada. If you ever could meet Michael ad Ellie you would find them enchanting. Their charm captivated us from the very moment we met. Here we part, each going seperate ways with promises to never bequeth in spirit or flesh. New friends and new beginnings!
