Thanks for joining me this week as I recapped Hyder, Alaska! One last update before the weekend…
On the back of Hyder’s welcome sign, as you are heading out, there is another sign proclaiming that you are “Leaving Hyder — the friendliest ghost town in Alaska!”
Hope your weekend is full of Silly American fun!

To round out the week, and one of the most amazing road trips ever, here’s a video montage of the road trip to Hyder, Alaska! An extra special thanks to Brian, Tim, and Rose for this wonderful trip! (I actually had no part in planning this vacation – it was all them!)
And another thanks to the amazingly talented Will Nealy who has written and recorded the brand spanking new Silly America theme song!!! You can hear the instrumental version here…and once my video skills get a little more up to snuff to be worthy of his incredible song I’ll be debuting the full version! Hopefully not too far in the future!

So remember yesterday when I posted about getting Hyderized at the Glacier Inn in Hyder, Alaska? And remember when I said I am really bad with shots…and alcohol in general? Well, as much as photography is my life, sometimes a picture just doesn’t do something justice…and that’s when a video camera really comes in handy!
Want to see just what it’s like for a SUPER light-weight girl and her friends to get Hyderized? Check out the video below!

After driving into Alaska, you can turn right to go to the Fish Creek Wildlife Observation Site, but you can also turn left to walk the small pier and check out some glorious views of the mountains!

I’ve been blogging up a storm this week about Hyder, Alaska and today will be no exception! There is still a ton left to show you as we wrap up Hyder week…for a small town it sure packs in a lot!
First up, here’s a photo recap of many more of the sites you would see if (when!) you travel to Hyder!

In an emergency, they don’t call 911.

We spotted a Bald Eagle, but no bears.
