We pulled out of Hyder at about 10:45. A much later start than expected. We had to go and use the city public dump in Stewart since the campground did not have a dump. Most of the campgrounds we run across did not have sewer at the site and we had to use the dump. Some parks don't even have dumps. Going to Alaska is an experience you will never forget. That is really true.
Last evening Bob & Dona stopped by to say since they spotted our rig. They are a couple from AZ we ran into in Soldotna and have been playing tag with them along the way since them.
The day was one of those really long days. We made it all the way to Prince George, Canada. For what ever reason we just didn't seem to find a place we wanted to stay at for the night. So we ended up at the Wal Mart parking log with about 25 other rigs.

We were up early this morning and got out by about 8:00. There was road construction off and on all day. Not all that bad though. The drive took us to Merritt Canada this evening. The Claybanks RV Park is a very nice park with full hookups and WiFi. One can't ask for any better. The price is better than what we have been used to also.
Along the way most of the day we saw man sawmills and log home manufacturers. Wood products are a very big thing in this part of Canada.
Tomorrow we cross the border back into Washington.
My auto satellite dish actually locked onto the satellites tonight. But I have to call DTV tomorrow and get them to authorize my receiver again. Receivers go blank if they are left unplugged and not connected to the dish for several weeks.
