Leaving the ferry around 7:00 am was a bit of a blessing. We hadn’t planned to visit much of Prince Rupert anyway and this got us onto the road at a good hour. We drove to Terrace where we had breakfast, about 1 1/2 hours down the road. Denny’s never tasted so good. It wasn’t long before we were on the famous Casiar highway heading north through oodles of wild game and dense forests and mountains. Well, the latter part was accurate and I suppose seeing 3 bears, one with Cubs might qualify as oodles. The mountains were magnificent. We got as high as 900 metres before arriving at Iskut. We bought a few expensive groceries and checked in to our cabin at Mountain Shadow Rv park. A neat cabin but not without its quirks – there was no water pressure after flushing the toilet. so wash first then flush became the mottqo. We hiked after dinner,such as it was, and met a family who pointed out where to see 2 mature eagles and 2 immature Eagles, albeit at quite a distance. Sitting and watching them only increased the likelihood of more mosquito bites and so photographic images were abysmal. After the hike we slept like bears in a den.
