Green Green



The road from the Alaska Highway to Stewart/Hyder is called the Cassiar Highway. It is beautiful, but not an easy drive. Luckily there's not much traffic and you count the other cars you see using both hands with some fingers left over. We pass some idyllic lakes and shades of green that even Crayola can't duplicate. A big brown bear on the side makes for good viewing too.

Halfway to our destination we reach the Jade store. Jade is the state gem of Alaska and is plentiful in this region of British Columbia. Of course we stop to shop and buy a few things.

Back on the road we finally reach Iskut and a pretty campground set on acres of grassy lawns with a good size lake. It takes most of the afternoon for everyone to arrive and then a quick dinner because tonight we are touring our neighbor's RV's.

The tour is a good thing because I really cleaned and got rid of dust, dirt and road grime on the cabinets and everywhere else. We had fun trapsing through each others mobile homes and seeing the decorations and clever ideas.
