Stop #9 July 29-Aug.1
While traveling to Hyder, Alaska, we had stopped in the town of Moricetown, British Columbia, watched the First Nation (Indians) fishing with nets and spears. The area where they were fishing was at a canyon, with rapids and some fish ladders toward the sides. While watching they had caught two fish, measured them and put them into a big tub, 4 foot square and high, only the indians could fish this way. We then stopped again and looked at Bear Glacier, with waterfalls along side, and the river that follows. Crossed into Hyder, Alaska, without border security check, and right onto dirt road, no paved roads in this town. The campground is just off the road, camped on stones and rocks, a few sites under pine trees. At night, everyone drives to the bear viewing area, where there is a stream with coho salmon spawning, we've been two black bears and two grizzly bear catch fish and eat them.
