Day 39

Sunday 6/29/03
Today we continued on from Haines Junction, YK to Haines, AK. On the way we saw two grizzly bears by the side of the road. They were about 30 feet from the truck on the passenger side. I got some good pictures of them through the rolled down window. Simba wisely stayed on the floor and used her litter box instead. She thinks watching bears is silly.We checked into the Haines Hitch-Up RV Park and made reservations for a boat trip and bus tour of Juneau on Tuesday. We leave here at 9:00 a.m. and return at 7:30 p.m. We drove around Haines and bought groceries at the local IGA. I took some more photos and then drove to the State Ferry Terminal and made tentative reservations for the State Ferry for the Scamp and us to Skagway on Thursday. No space was available for Wednesday, but they said to check back Monday as space sometimes opens up. It will save us about 300 miles of driving. Teddy did laundry. It rained most of the day. About 5 p.m. the sun came out. We phoned Lyle & Kathy and Fred & Deborah. Before retiring,, Teddy set up the bread machine for bread. This is the second time for making bread on our trip.
