Haines was good to us with nice weather and lots of bears to look at near the Chilkoot river where we were camped. We took a ferry to Juneau for the day toured around there. Visited the Mendenhall glacier. We saw Orcas and Humpback whales and other wildlife on the trip down and back. Maggie stayed with a Russian lady in Haines for the day. I think she has stories about that if she could talk.
On the road after Haines we went through Whitehorse again and on down the Cassiar highway. We camped in Stewart AK. for 2 days. Not a single bear at their famous viewing station. We drove to the end of the road out of Hyder and the view of the Salmon glacier and others made this whole visit worthwhile. The Salmon glacier is the 5th largest glacier in North America.
Down the road again, Smithers, Prince George, Cache Creek and now this a.m. in Merritt B.C.
Lorraine has now taken 9,000 pictures. That makes for a challenge to pick out a few for the blog.
When we get home come on up to the lake and watch them. Two days of steady viewing I'm sure.
