Bella Coola & Hyder

Aw, thanks G!! :wub:

For Tyler...

BTW, re photo sites, SmugMug for the win. I think I pay $45/yr and, imo, it is worth every penny for a lot of different reasons... and it's very easy to use and create rider reports.

Question: What does it mean to get "Hyderized" or should I even ask?

It's a special drink they make, first time when George and I were there it was Sunday and to early to have one.......... According to him he saved my life that time to.

"Two of the town's bars issue certifications to patrons of being "Hyderized" if the patron consumes a shot of 151 proof (75.5% alcohol) Everclear."

Big Wowie, O'Keeffe-McNamara-Stanley are way past 151 proof by 0645 hours each and every morning! JSNS, No Guts - No Glory! Begorah!

Hyderized is a drunken of mispronunciation Irish eyes.

Jim's on to something, in Gaelic it would be "caoch ar meisce"; Fontanaman is right, Papa Chuy Viejo also believes that it's just a mispronunciation!

Most excellent ride report. I shall need to take at least a month off to accomplish such a ride. Maybe one day...

I have been to southern Alaska and to date, I still think it's the most beautiful place I have ever seen. A post card around every curve.

Thanks for sharing this.

You're welcome 'pants! As I mentioned before, with the distances involved, time is the biggest obstacle traveling to the far north. I have a generous vacation policy at work but taking a month off now isn't in the cards. Hopefully that problem will be gone in a couple years...

Just finished partaking of two bottles of this magical potion with the help of some Canukastani friends while spending a few days in the Nakusp, BC area. One must work hard to keep up with the northern devils.
