Dease Lake

We left Smithers at 10 am and drove up the Cassia Highway towards Stewart a small Canadian village on the border of Southern Alaska and we crossed the border into Hyder Alaska a very small village in America completely cut off from Alaska with only 40 people their, had a border crossing and they were about the most exciting thing in the place as they gave me a really nice stamp in my Passport of a Canadian Bear.
We decided to push on to a place called Dease lake about another 400 klm north from there and the road was full of snow and ice, but beautiful as we got to see a couple of glacier's on the way. We were getting really tired when we pulled into a small rest area Heli ski company that let me use a Satellite phone to call ahead to Dease lake to make contact with a lady called Zora that would be able to let us stay with her. Their is no mobile phone or land lines in many of the outlying area's.
We arrived in Dease lake at around 11 pm and crashed into bed, Zora not being in town we met her son Kiel and never meeting him before just pointed at a room and said he was going out with his girlfriend to watch a Dvd at a friends, strange how people can be so friendly to open their houses to complete strangers.
Tomorrow morning we will push on up to White Horse where a news paper is wanting to inter view us.

Oh one thing i forgot we saw a huge Moose in the road in the dark just standing their in front of the car then he went into the trees went around the back of us and Chris told me to drive as he started charging at the car.
We heard from a truck driver that one moose just kept ramming into his grill with his antlers.
They are fantastic to see though.
