August 16/ 2010: So the three of us are off to Hyder, Alaska--which is located right across the border from Stewart, BC.

The scenery is fantastic and there are some very nice curvy roads.

But with 100 people and two bars, one of the things that Hyder is best known for is the tradition of getting "hyderized."
At the Glacier Inn in Hyder, innkeeper Judy sells the highest proof alcohol that anyone can legally buy (150 proof), serves it to you in a shot glass and explains the rules. "No sipping, no smelling, just slamming."
Of course, we had to do it.
Once we became sober again, we took a little trip down a dusty gravel road to the park where you could watch grizzly bears fishing. It was all lots of fun until Hailey got another flat tire...
