A beautiful sunny day here in paradise, Haines, AK. Went for a great 3 ½ mile walk to Battery Point in a temperate rain forest today in the big trees. The campground where we are staying on the waterfront in Haines hosts a crab bake ever so often when crabs are in season. The crabs come off the dock and get cooked within the hour. Dungeness crab which I had not had before. They were amazingly good. The added bonus was it was the first “pot luck” we’d experienced at any campground. It was enjoyable to chat with people from all over while enjoying an amazing crab meal.
Tomorrow we are taking a day ferry to Juneau. It leaves Haines at 8:30 and returns sometime between 8 and 9 in the evening.
