Day 39 6/6/15

| The junction at Hwy. 16 and 37 |
We took a nice morning walk around the campground before getting back on the road and about 50 miles past Moricetown, we hit highway 37 to the North. Lakes and villages and bears on the road for the next 100 miles.

| Mama bear decoying us away from her cub |
11:57 – black bear on the road ambling along pretending to be wounded so we wouldn’t notice her cub in the brush. 12:04 another bear crossing the road.
At 1:30 we came to the Nass River and its one lane wooden bridge across the narrows there. We saw unbelievable whirlpools and currents below.

| Second bear in just a few minutes |
Meziadin Junction was our lunch stop – there is a store and gas station there and a very large bunkhouse for transient workers. The restaurant has excellent food for reasonable prices, nothing fancy at all just good and plenty of it.

| Nass River crossing |
Heading West on Highway 37A, we came to the Bear Glacier – this was our best glacier view by far although the pictures do not do it justice. The surface is white and blue with many rough peaks and it ends at a lake along the highway. Simply beautiful!

Continuing West, we passed through Stewart, BC and crossed the border into Hyder, Alaska about 4:30 and on to Camp Run-A-Muck. We could hear the Salmon River from our campsite and we both turned in early and slept well, we had made it to Alaska, our most Northern point for this trip.
