Sunshine!!!!!

WOW!!!!!! What a change!!!!! Woke up this morning to this color and brightness to the sky that I really wasn't sure what it was. Found out after asking a couple of people that it was the sun and blue sky!!!!! A really nice change. So nice, we started off with light gloves on. It only took about 25 miles before I stopped. Dave asked why and I told him it was time to put the winter gloves back on. He agreed!!!!!!!!!!!

Here are some of the sites we saw. Not sure if it is any prettier down the Cassiar than where we've been, but at least you could see it and have blue sky in the background.



Here is a shot of Bear Glacier just outside of Stewart BC. It is pretty amazing.
We were supposed to do laundry tonight, but Dave decided it would be a good idea to ride to Hyder Alaska. The population is about 15, right across the border from where we are staying. When you cross into Hyder, there is no American Customs/Immigration. When you come back, of course there is Canadian Customs. I'll have more to say about Canadian Customs/Immigration after we leave Canada......

If you go to Hyder, you have to get Hyderized. This involves drinking a 1 ounce shot of some type of liquor that you can't taste first, smell or anything else. You have to drink it all down. So of course being the brave travelers we are, we decided we really needed to do it. Well, we have the card and bumper sticker saying we have now been Hyderized. See below:
The bar is pretty neat. It has money on the walls from all over. It started in 1956 and they have over $75,000 stapled to the walls. You just know that Dave and I put some up!!!!!

They even have girls dancing on the bar!!!!!!!!
Since we got Hyderized, of course the laundry went by the wayside. Guess we will need to do that some other night (soon!!!!).

Dave had to hurry tonight since I told him he couldn't eat until he was done with his blog. He wanted the Alaskan King Crab Legs really bad. So, while he finishes them, I am updating mine.

Guess I better start repacking what I had taken off the bike in my mistaken idea of doing laundry tonight. Oh well, such is life on the road...................
