Everything Is Beautiful

This should have been day two in Hyder, but we decided that we had better move on and find tires before the holiday called Canada Day on July 1 and everything will be closed including towing services. First good thing that happened is a guest mentioned to us that probably only our rear tires were affected and Jeff realized that was right so he called around and found two tires (the only ones this chain had in northern British Columbia) and luckily in a small town right on our route.

We packed up and drove back to the car which was sitting as we left it. We decided that we could go faster if Jeff drove the car and I followed in the RV. As we turned onto the road a sow with two cubs crossed in front of us and it was a good omen. We had a beautiful drive and the tires held out all the way to the tire place.

Along the way we stopped for a picnic lunch and tried to enjoy ourselves. We passed Smithers where our group would stay the next night and continued to Houston, home of the world's largest fly fishing rod. Up here every town has to have something with a superlative. Think 35' skis or world's largest chain saw. Anyway the tire store was already closed so we left the car in their lot and found a nearby campground. We were so tired and needed to chill out, eat and sleep.
