Grizzlies ahoy

We awoke in Prince Rupert to a wet and misty day, the first 130km we followed the river to a town called Terrace. Between Prince Rupert and Terrace there was nowt - and the signage confirmed that - 'next fuel 134km' - but we were fine. 8km outside of Terrace, Scott rolled to a halt- out of fuel - a slight mile-to-kilometer confusion (we changed the bike clocks from km to miles for america, but didn't change them back for metrified Canada) :-)

So we quickly hooked up a tow rope, and towed the last few km to the fuel station in Terrace.

After refueling we stopped off at the Indian Reserve of Kitselas for some lunch with - you guessed it- FRENCH FRIES.

It was then a drizzly ride for the remainder of the way to the Canadian town of Stewart - glacier town..

Although we were staying in Stewart (in British Columbia), we rode the extra 3 miles to Hyder, in Alaska (a tiny village, with a muddy track as a high street) to go looking for bears;

We waited, and we waited,

and we waited;

THEN;

Out came a grizzly, into the river ans swatted a couple of salmon for dinner;
