September 5, 2009 – Cassiar and Totem Poles

With a final farewell to Alaska, we continued our travels today heading east and south on the Cassiar.  Some final pictures from the road of glaciers:

 

We stopped at Kitwanga.  They have a free municipal campground so we checked it out and decided to stay – our site:

There are a number of First Nation Villages in this area that have authentic totem poles so off we went to see them.

We drove into the village of Gitwangak and here are the poles:

 

 

 

How interesting.  There was a little info stand here but it was closed.  So off we went to Gitanyow.  Here is information on the Totem Poles:

Here are some of the poles and a museum – the museum was closed – :-(((

 

Back at the MH, the park supplied free firewood, so… you know the rest.  We did not sit out long because the rain started – Oh well!!
