4th of July in Hyder, Alaska

We are enjoying our day off the bikes with great weather and a 4th of July celebration. Here are a few pictures, that took 15 minutes each to load because the wifi is very slow here.

This mountain appeared out of nowhere as the mist lifted in the morning.














An hour later it was more visible.














The view from our campsite waking up Friday morning.














This bear was eating the berries along the road as we drove past. I only got a few quick pictures before he walked into the woods and disappeared.














We saw this glacier along 37a right before we arrived in Stewart, BC which is essentially across the road from Hyder, Ak. There was no customs to get into Hyder, but getting back into Canada requires a passport. Nice place, but I would hate to be stuck here.



















Great scenery on the Way to Hyder, Alaska














Arriving in Hyder after a short 200 mile day on the bikes. It was nice to take it easy on Friday, and Saturday the 4th, we did some sight seeing and kicked around town before heading out early Sunday morning for a 2 day trip back to Calgary.














Dan studying hard for Karaoke. He sang "Safety Dance" in a psuedo techno voice. The guys in the bar just shook their heads but the girls loved it.
