Yesterday we took a rock to the windshield and it left a chip. We called this guy this morning and he came to our campsite to fix it. Gotta be able to see what's down the road.
If you look closely, you'll see a brown bear cub in the ditch. When he saw us he took off for the woods. Never did see his mama.
For those of you that watch "Gold Rush", here is a shot of the bridge that crosses Porcupine Creek.
While driving into Haines, AK, there was a fish wheel just waiting for the salmon run......which should start soon.....or so we've been told. It was just like watching the Discovery Channel.
We never tire of the beautiful scenery.
Here is another "Gold Rush" reference: Who do you think went to school here? (see below)
This is the area that we will be camping tonight before we catch a ferry to Skagway, AK.
What visit to Haines, AK would be complete without a tour of the Hammer Museum? They had thousands of different kinds of hammers there.
Here is a question from the Hammer Museum: Why were these small tacks sterilized? (see below)
Answers: * Haines school district is the school of Parker Schnabel, star of "Gold Rush". He was on the varsity basketball team.
*The reason the tacks were sterilized was because the carpenters would hold them in their mouths when they worked. I wonder how long it took people to figure that out?
