Stewart to Smithers
Frances and I walked into town first thing to take in the “Stewart Toaster Museum” (Some small towns will do anything to create a tourist attraction. ) We got there to find out that the place was under renovations and was closed. As it was part of the hotel lobby in which it is located we went in and asked if we could look around........A Blunt No was the answer we got. We did see some through the windows from outside but that was the extent of our Toaster Museum visit.
We went back to the trailer and pulled out. The weather had cleared slightly on the way back so we did see a little more on the road going out.
We made a stop at the Gitanyow Indian Village to view a collection of totem poles. We had a hard time finding them and when we did it wasn’t that exciting.
Our next stop was at the Hagwilget Canyon and bridge. The single lane bridge spans the canyon where the Bulkley River runs through. I got half way across and decided the height and see through road bed was not my thing.
We arrived in Smithers and found free parking at the Smallest! Zeller’s I have ever seen. There was a grocery store handy so it was a good place to park for the night.
