We Messed Up

Sooooo, while Kai was sleeping, I took a wrong turn on the Cassiar and ended up in Stewart Canada which is the sister town to Hyder, AK... Soooo there's no frenching gas till 7 frenching am and our debit cards haven't worked at any of these podunk Canadian ATMs so we came back home to Alaska. Enjoying a beer and gonna camp here tonight till gas station opens at 0700 tomorrow. Mother French me! On the positive end, this has been a gorgeous drive and it's sunny and clear out. We've seen so many black bears they've become as common as ravens!


Addendum to previous post: If you are ever stuck in Hyder, Alaska please come to the Sealaska Inn and bar. They have free wifi, the bartender Debbie not only pours a mean drink, but she gave us free hot dog buns since we missed the dinner hour! We highly recommend this bar if you're ever in town, stop by and say hi to Deb.

I have an image of you mowing on dry, crumbly hot dog buns until your next post. What will happen to Nicki and Kai?! Will they ever make it out of Alaska? Will Nicki learn to navigate without cell service? Is it safe for Kai to shut his eyes in slumber again?! Stay tuned!

Oops - sounds like the robot let you down. Maybe Kai should be alert at major intersections.

Randy just informed me that making the wrong turn you made is comparable to if you were headed to Anchorage from Girdwood, but hung a left at the Tesoro and wound up in Seward. Evokes the image of Clark getting the tribe lost in the Arizona desert. (Randy is instructing me what to write, by the way)
