I mentioned yesterday, about that bit of a drizzle that we rode through on our way to see the glacier. Well, the drizzle turned into rain over night. Enough so that it made us look a little harder at our plans for continuing on. Actually there were a number of bikers on adventure rides that were in the same position, including our Auzzie friends who were hoping to take a helicopter tour of the glaciers.
None of the weather reports look very good for at least a week in any of the places we were planning to visit or pass through. Perhaps the summer weather turned too soon this year, but it was looking mostly nasty.
Plan A was to ride to Hyder, Alaska. We have accomplished that and have had an extremely enjoyable time doing it. To revert to the original plan seems to be our best option based on the conditions.
As a recap, Plan A was after visiting Hyder, to head back down to Prince Rupert on the Canadian coast and hop on a ferry to Vancouver Island. As of now, we are in Prince Rupert and have a standby reservation for Port Hardy on the north end of the island. We should arrive there around midnight Monday/Tuesday.
It looks as though our trip will be over all too soon.
