Day 33

Welcome to Haines totems.

Spent the day wandering around Haines and searching up the river for bears hunting salmon. I even tried fishing for Dolly Varden and the outlet of Chilkat Lake and only stopped because a bear appeared just downstream from me.

Haines is a lovely place and in the words of an Arizona transplant “It’s as Alaska as I want to get.”

A couple of guys who said they were Harrison Ford and John Wayne.

Also met Jamie who is working for the parks service and just made our day with the welcome she gave us and all the information also.
