Alaska is in our rear view mirror, and we are back in British Columbia working our way north. We traveled 245 miles today and will go 150 tomorrow and another 350 over the following two days, working our way to Skagway, Alaska.
There's not much to report from this day of driving except that this has been the most amazing scenery either of us has ever seen. Rivers, mountains, valleys, glaciers, wildlife, tundra and everything was bigger than you have ever imagined.
Yesterday, we carpooled up to the Salmon Glacier. We met Keith Scott, better known as Bear Man. He is a 77 year old environmentalist that lives in a tent during the summer in an area overlooking the glacier. He spoke to us of his experiences with bears and hiking in and over the glacier. A really REALLY cool guy.
Last night, we had a group meeting in town at the Sealaska bar, and then we went to dinner with another couple we met....our Louisiana friends. Our big night out included driving to the town dump to view the bears! And there were several..
