I know with us, it uses too much of our cellular bandwidth to do any real kind of YouTube videos plus lots of work and we just aren't ready to do that, we like to keep things simple and easy for everyone, including ourselves, not that writing a blog is simple or easy! ;-)<br /><br />You are welcome and we are glad that you enjoy following along on our adventures.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-28675982317629976382018-08-09T14:47:27.844-04:002018-08-09T14:47:27.844-04:00The scenery all along that road is amazing and yes...The scenery all along that road is amazing and yes, lot of waterfalls to see.<br /><br />I am surprised that the campgrounds in Stewart wouldn't let you stay in a soft sided tent trailer. When people go backcountry backpacking they are sleeping in tents in the middle of bear country, seems like a strange rule. As long as all the food is stored at night in your vehicle or a bear proof locker we don't really see a problem. Glad that you were able to camp over at Hyder though.<br /><br />We went to the viewing platform three different times yesterday and stayed for quite a while each time but never saw a bear. :-( We also we up and had a look at the Salmon Glacier, it was definitely something to see.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-27536137373379357242018-08-09T14:22:21.776-04:002018-08-09T14:22:21.776-04:00Thank you so much!

We love to show people what is out there with hopes that some will follow in our same tracks and see some of the wonderful places.<br /><br />For many it is a leap of faith because you don't know what might happen, good or bad but no matter what you will always learn and grow from the experience. We always figured that if it didn't work out for us then we would go back and start living a normal life again. You don't know what will happen if you don't at least try! Nice to see that you have given it a try a couple of times and that you have made it work. :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-85445587867490768112018-08-09T14:16:51.371-04:002018-08-09T14:16:51.371-04:00Thank you Brigitte!

We loved the Yukon and are really looking forward to seeing more of British Columbia now and we know that we will love it!<br /><br />Yes, Vancouver to Whistler is a beautiful drive but it is also a fairly busy road, Whistler is very much a tourist attraction so there would be lots of people there. We were there back in 2006 when we did a tent camping trip for a couple of weeks.<br /><br />We saw lots of salmon from the observation platform in Hyder and there is no fishing from it either. And yes, according to the fireweeds summer is just about over up here.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-80179085824703363032018-08-09T04:30:45.671-04:002018-08-09T04:30:45.671-04:00Well that was a day and a half.

I must say your written commentary and great pictures are in many ways better than the excellent you tube channel. I think both you and the you tuber are excellent at taking us along. It is hard to say why I almost prefer your written blog. It may be because your is daily while theirs is usually every other day. And it takes much less time to read than watch... anyway thanks for all the effort you put into this..GMFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730646156446065339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-75790577250064443672018-08-08T17:40:59.378-04:002018-08-08T17:40:59.378-04:00Recognized the picture of Bear glacier right off. ...Recognized the picture of Bear glacier right off. It sure has shrunk since I was there. Plus I remember all the waterfalls along that road! When I pulled into Stewart I asked where I could camp. I had a off road tent trailer and they said because of the bears they did not allow them in the RV parks. I asked what should I do and he said where are you going. I said I'm going to Hyder, and he said oh. You'll be able to camp at their RV parks since they let you do anything in Alaska. I crossed over and yes it was OK and cheap as I recall. I did make a point of sleeping away from the canvas walls though. Plus had my tiny air horn and bear spray at the ready! If you go into Hyder, and the salmon or other fish are running they got a xlnt raised boardwalk to see bears fishing in safety. Plus the Salmon Glacier which I think is the forth largest in North America.mrdsee468https://www.blogger.com/profile/10555856268348172324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-53586193335573258212018-08-08T15:59:12.787-04:002018-08-08T15:59:12.787-04:00Your photographs are always so wonderful.

I listened to your interview and having never met you in person, was great to hear your voices. I have taken leaps of faith throughout my life at various times. I left a job with a company and opened my own law office. Then I retired from law at age 50 and went back to school to become a massage therapist. Now I am transitioning to retirement and opening my horizons to *frugal* enjoyment now that I am 62. Where there's a will, there's a way!! It's always worked out for me and it seems to have worked out well for you too.

We were in Alaska three years ago today heading to Seward, AK to do the boat tour and see glaciers, whales, sea lions, sea otters, eagles, puffins birds and so much more. Yukon and BC is every bit as beautiful. I've never been north of Vancouver but always wanted to drive to Whistler. I heard it's beautiful drive. Enjoy your travels and be safe.
