Thursday Sept 3, 2009 Haines, Alaska Valley of the Eagles (& the bears)

We wake up on the last day here in Haines. I can't help but compare the total lack of waves in the ocean in front of us to the loud crashing waves of Kluane Lake. It seems just the opposite should be correct. It seems that each day we are leaving a place we have fallen in love with, it starts raining. Well today, it's raining again. Mikey was planning of fishing again, but not in the rain.

We drive around the other side of the peninsula and take in some of the history of this town.

We try to see the bears, but they are not co-operating, maybe they don't like fishing in the rain either. So off we go to the 10pm ferry to the town of Skagway, Alaska. This town is 15miles by water from Haines or 360+ miles by land. We choose water. I'm sorry that the only ferry ride available is at night and I won't get to see the sights tonight.
