Day
48 – 6-28-15 Sunday A quiet relaxing day today. A few degrees
warmer than the last couple of days and sunshine. Lena did laundry
because we will probably not have full hookups for several days when
we leave Haines tomorrow. Mid afternoon we walked downtown to Haines
again to get some exercise. The town was quiet, not much activity.
There were 4 or 5 businesses open.

We
found an old cemetery on the hill above the street in front of the
small boat harbor. There were only about a dozen tombstones in it
dating from the late 1800's to about 1909. There were two Bald Eagles
in the trees at the edge of town near the harbor. Probably the same
two we saw just after we got here.

About
8PM we drove back to the Chilkoot Lake area to see if the bears were
out in the water feeding. We stopped near the fish weir and watched
one of the Fish and Wildlife personnel out on the weir counting
salmon. We didn't see any bears but did see three Bald Eagles in the
spruce trees above the water. One was down low near the water looking
for fish I guess. This is a really scenic area. We took one last look
and returned to the campground.
