NO BEARS :(
We made it up to Stewart BC on Thursday late so Friday morning we went early to the Fish Creek observation place in Hyder, Alaska which is supposed to be the best place for seeing bears in the wild. No Bears. Lots of people waiting for bears. It was interesting though watching the whole fish spawning thing. It's much more realistic than just reading about it. The live fish are busy doing their thing amidst piles of fish which have already died. We heard later one black bear popped in around noon after we were gone. No grizzlies that day.
As a postscript to the bear story--we saw 3 black bears alongside the road on our way to the campground that afternoon. (and there was a grizzly who had been hanging around the campground which of course we didn't see.)
Another aside. We planned to stop and visit K'San--a first peoples recreated village--on the way up but decided to scoot up to Hyder and stop on the way back. Which we did and that's where we are tonight. Here's the bad news. They have a dancing performance with all the regalia on Thursdays :( So it goes.
