Road Trippin' British Columbia Part II

Beautiful British Columbia

We stayed the night at a nice RV park in Telkwa, B.C.. We were the first tent campers to stay in the new tent spots made by the river. We did laundry, and journaling while eating a Mountain House Meal of jerk chicken. I thought this would be awesome, peaceful and quiet, sheltered from the road traffic with the nice lullaby played by the river. Turns out there is a train nearby that comes every couple of hours, even in the middle of the night. Grr.

We woke early and headed North towards Stewart, B.C. which would be a four and a half hour drive. Every minute of driving was greeted with beauty all around. When we arrived in Stewart it began raining pretty hard. Stewart is an adorable town of about 500 people. Just 2 km away was Hyder, Alaska, USA, a town of 200. We were able to pass in to the USA without going through customs (what's the point, really?). Hyder was relatively uneventful although I would like to note the US Post Office: It was a small trailer that had a large car port shelter on top of it. As soon as we were in the USA we were out of it and back in Canada, even though we were continuing forward on the same road. The payoff was at the end was a spectacular view of several glaciers poking through the clouds. 

On our way back to Stewart we stopped at a General Store in search of bottled water. Instead we entered a general store full of guns, knives, post cards and old stuff. Hoooowwww do you get so many guns in a store surrounded by Canada? Mysteries...
We quickly got through customs and stopped for dinner at a food truck (surrounded by a large tent) in Stewart.  

We tucked in for the night at a RV park in Kitwanga, B.C., about 4 hours south of Stewart. The next morning we stuck around for several hours blogging, eating breakfast, skyping family and uploading pictures to our computers.
