The two RV Gypsies in
Stewart, British Columbia
August 20, 2009

Stewart and Hyder are on a spur of the Cassiar Highway at the head of Portland Canal, a narrow saltwater fjord approximately 90 miles long. The fjord forms a natural boundary between Alaska and Canada. Stewart has a deep harbour and boasts of being Canada's most northerly ice-free port. Stewart served as the center for Canadian mining activity, Mining ceased in 1956 with the exception of the Granduc copper mine which operated until 1984. Today the economy is driven by forestry, mining and tourism.

The campground in Stewart - Bear River RV Park - the paperwork given to the two RV Gypsies stated, "Do not walk around the park after dark because of bears and wolves." But the two RV Gypsies did not see any bears.

The two RV Gypsies and their new RV friends, Doug and Renee took a short walk. Just outside the campground, they found a free driving range, with golf balls and clubs just sitting there waiting to be used. NEAT! The signs were not in good condition, but it is such a great thing for volunteers in a community to offer this opportunity to people.
