Cassiar to Stewart and around Stewart


On the drive to Stewart.





Arrived in Stewart and decided to go to the “Bus” for lunch. This is an old school bus converted into a restaurant. Her husband goes fishing in the morning and what he catches is the menu for the day. The “Bus” is open until she runs out of fish. Must be halibut season, everything on the menu was Halibut(only 4 items) and Oysters. I had the grilled halibut and Tom had Oysters. Both were excellent. 


Rules of the House

 
After eating we decided to go to Salmon Glacier, nice sunny day. A long drive on a so-so dirt road, well worth it in the end. 











Came back and stopped at the Bear Viewing Boardwalk. No bear and no eagles but the amount of salmon in the stream was huge. We learned later that the fish were delayed due to a flood and the bears become tired of waiting and left. We will keep trying but not too optimistic.













On Thursday the rains came and we stayed in. We ate breakfast out at Toasterworks, a very unique restaurant. The owner(not sure who) likes to collect things”, no rhyme or reason. The restaurant is decorated with hundreds of antique toasters and other kitchen items. Really neat.









On Friday, we tried the Bear Viewing again, still no bears. We did eat at the “Bus” again, today Salmon had been added to the menu. We can always get Salmon but rarely see Halibut so we both had Halibut. Today I had sauteed Halibut and Tom had the Grilled. Both were excellent.

This is probably our last fresh fish meals as we are heading inland toward Jasper and Banff.

Today we heard there was 8” of snow in NE British Columbia. Winter is coming.
