Boondocking in Hyder?
I'm working on our 2015 itinerary. We want to spend 1-2 days at Hyder (mid-August) to see the bears and do some local sightseeing (Salmon glacier). I've read that the best thing to do to see bears ...

Wow. Paving in Hyder. It just doesn't seem right.
A few years back we were heading into town with our rig, and I noticed that the bumper mounted spare tire carrier was cracked apart, and about to leave the tire dragging down the road like a tail. Since it wasn't our first trip, the wife was deeply concerned that there was absolutely no way that we would find anybody to repair the thing in a place as small and backwoodsy as Hyder. I told her that I could guarantee that we will get it patched back together, and it wouldn't be a problem in the least.
While checking in at the office at the Run-a-Muck, I asked the owner about finding a welder for a small repair. He directed me to a local who spends his summers at the CG. This guy took the pieces to a buddy, and returned with then the next day. The repair was 3x stronger than the original part, and will last for few hundred years. He then asked if I thought $20 was fair........
Great town, great people, I can't wait to go back.
