After breakfast and showers we decided we were going to stay a week here in Haines. At this RV Park if you pay for 6 nights you get the 7th free, sounded good to us. We have been moving so much that we both feel we need some down time. Come this Thursday, 7/26, their Southeast State Fair starts and we wanted to go see that.
We drove out to Chilkoot Lake where the fishermen stand in the water and fish Salmon. We drove around the camp sites, way too small for us. On the way out we stopped to see the fishermen and when we did one guy came out and said the grizzly bear was coming this way. Dave got some great shots of the bear walking along the lake. When the bear came back onto the road I took off running, which what your not suppose to do, and hid behind a truck. Pretty neat to see, just like seeing the grizzly yesterday. But this one was closer.
After driving around town we came back to the RV and relaxed. Read books and just took it easy. Need the down time, I can’t even begin to tell you why, just been moving too fast.
This evening the RV Park had a crab fest for everyone and you had to bring a dish to pass, plus $6.00 per person, cheapest meal we have had. What a great dinner, crab was great and what everyone brought was great, along with dessert. After dinner a lot of us went to the fire pit and made a nice fire and sat and talked, was a really nice night.
4 cruise ships went by and now it is almost 11pm and it is starting to get dark. If it starts getting dark at night time that means it is time to leave Alaska, winter is coming. After talking to some people tonight I think we have decided not to go to Skagway, next Monday, and just drive out of here. If we take the ferry to Skagway then we have to pay for another night of camping, and we have already been to Skagway in 2003 so why go again.
Will be here till Monday, so still have time to decide. Will update later on what we decide to do.
