anybody been n the Cassiar Highway yet? I think we are going to return that way in about 3 weeks.
We are on the Cassiar right now. We are spending tonight in Dease Lake because the road was much better than I anticipated coming north after 2 days in Stewart-Hyder. Except for 11-km of chip seal that started yesterday in Stewart and a 1/2-mile really bad stretch immediately south of Dease Lake (where they just tore up the pavement), the road has been as good as many State highways in Colorado.
So, all-in-all the road is in great shape. And, by the time you are here, the chip-seal job will likely be completed and the Dease Lake repairs may be at least to the graded-gravel stage. Just slow down for the tiny "Slow" signs next to the bumps and you will be fine. Drive it and enjoy the terrific scenery and, by the time you get there, the bears in Hyder (we saw only one young black bear and no grizzlies).
