August 8th - Kitimat - Kitwanga - Kitimat

August 8^th

We drove out to Kitwanga, to meet George and Kellie Roberts, other Wanderlodge owners.  We decided to take the camera as Alicia, a friend of Vadie’s has said that she has seen the Spirit Bear many times in her travels.  In my 32 years up here, I have never seen the Kermodei , or the Spirit Bear.

On our trip to Kitwanga, there was no sign of the Spirit Bear.  

George and Kellie were not at Kitwanga, so we decided to drive into Gitwaynga, there we saw the old Anglican church and steeple as well as many totem poles.

When we returned to Kitwanga, George and Kellie were arriving. We had a good lunch with them at the cafe, then it was show and tell on the coach.  

We Canadianized them, he even mentioned that he was “Hyderized” and had the card to prove it.

 George officially "Hyderized"

and "Canadianized"

On the return trip to Kitimat, 5 minutes from Kitwanga at the “S” bend where the RV’s are stored, there was the Kermodei.  We could not have missed it, the vehicles were stopped on both sides of the road and the semis had a hard time getting through.
