Alaska Trip Day 26

We left Prince George at 6:45 AM and saw our first bear of the day at Williams Lake eating a dead deer beside the road. At one point we were held up for an hour while the fire fighters were putting out a fire beside the road. The Sea to Sky hwy was a beautiful drive (more hairpins, no barriers) but it was paved. We saw our 2nd bear in Pemberton (a large Grizzly) just walking along the side of the road. We stayed in Whistler Village at the Delta Whistler Suites. It was a one bedroom condo with living room, kitchenette, and fireplace. We were awakened at 3:30 AM with really loud beeping, turns out the fire alarm was going off and finally a message came over the speaker to stay in our rooms, read the fire escape routes on our door and they will keep us informed. This went on for ½ hour beeping – message – beeping etc. The fire truck came and checked things out and the beeping finally stopped. We drove 408 miles today.
