6-17-2011 Hyder AK and Stewart, BC

Catch of the Day!!!
Al......Fish


Took a 17 dirt... mile ride in Hyder, stopped just short of the end of the road.
Most definitely not my fav, as I'm afraid of heights and this was winding and up and up!
These are the glaciers at the end of the road, what they call the thumb.  The end of the road was the top!!!




Alaska's first masonry storehouse building, part of an Army Corps of Engineers expedition to Alaska.  The monument to the left resembles the Washington Monument and marks the international boundary. 



Downtown Stewart, paved streets....quite different than the dirt roads of Hyder.  But both resemble what one would picture as an old western struggling town.
