Day 68: Monday, August 9th: Hyder, Alaska to Fort Fraser

Last night we camped on a ledge overlooking Salmon Glacier. The glacier was technically in British Columbia. The road we were on wound from Alaska to B.C.

Scott’s fabulous breakfast of French toast was enjoyed along the Valdez waterfront across Prince William Sound from where Brooke caught her first fish.

It was wet and slightly raining (spitting) this morning. We were questioning heading out of Anchorage this morning, but then we decided to stick around for one more night. Why did we decide to stick around? SHOWERS! Tonight will be our last showers until…who knows?!? The good news is that I am still on my …
