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.”


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.
