South Again

We left Stewart about 8:00 am.  Overcast but still pretty.  The road between Stewart and the junction with BC 37 passes something like 18 glaciers and 45 waterfalls. We didn’t see them all but did see quite a few.

About an hour and a half south we went through a couple of first nations villages.  These villages have totem ‘forests’.  Totems are most common to the natives of southern Alaska and British Columbia.  One major reason is that there are large trees in the south that do not exist in the more northern areas.  Totems tell stories.  It helps a great deal to know the story ahead of time I think.

We are now in a small provincial park beside a very pretty lake.

Sue and Gladys are kayaking on the lake.

This is the one section of the trip that I did not research or plan.  I just figured we’d see what came up.  So we’ll read a bit about the road ahead and see what happens for the next few days.
