On to Stewart, BC and Hyder, AK

This is a close up of the stream under the Bear Glacier. Note the dark blue streak above and left of the stream opening. Beautiful!
Bear Glacier without zoom. Note area above is just left of the dark spot.
The laundry house at Camp Run-A-Muck in Hyder, AK. I made last nights posts from this laundry room. But, the connection bombed out before I could finish.
The Post Office at Hyder, AK. Note Hyder sits at the southeastern edge of Alaska, just past Stewart, BC. Stewart is on Pacific time. Alaska is on Alaska time, one hour earlier. However, the town of Hyder uses Pacific time as they depend on Stewart for telephone and bank services. Merchants in Hyder and Stewart accept both Canadian and US money. However, there is an exception to the time in Hyder. Since the Post Office is in a federal building it must go by Alaska time. Typical government affairs!
