Inside the Red Dog Cafe

Monday morning we are on our way to Juneau, the capital of Alaska. It was a 4 1/2 hour trip. Again we saw many glaciers, and sealife including hump back whales. We had dinner in at the Red Dog Cafe in downtown Juneau. Busy, busy place with all the tourists as there were 6 cruise ships at the docks.

Arrived in Haines,AK Friday evening and parked next to Jack and Margaret whom we have met throught out our trip at different campgrounds. The drive into Haines was beautiful with many glaciers and bald eagles. There is the Alaskan Chilkart Bald Eagle Preserve which is the gathering site of more than 3,500 bald eagles from October through December.

We camped at the Oceanside RV park, overlooking the port of Haines and the Lynn Canal. This is where we will take the Alaskan Marine Ferry to the inside passage.

Saturday night the campground owner provided a Crab and Salmon feast. Fresh dungress crab and salmom that was caught just 2 hours prior. Delicious!! Beautiful evening and had a campfire with Jack and Margaret.

Sunday we took in a film at the Bald Eagle Foundation, a drive out Mud bay Road to see Rainbow and Davidson Glaciers. Checked in at the ferry terminal and got out iternary for the inside passage trip. Continued to the Chilkoot Lake area where there is a fish weir on the Chilkat River

counting the returning salmon and at 9PM we viewed a bear feeding on the salmom!! Just amazing.

We left Tok the next morning heading to Destruction Bay in the YT. The road was very rough with lots of loose gravel patches, constucton, frost heaves, holes in the road, etc. It was a very long drive to Cottonwood RV campground. We arrived about 6PM and visited with 2 Escapee couples and did the Escapee hug!!

We did make one side trip for lunch to the Northway Airport, the last town before US Customs. Populaton 82. This is an Athabascan Village. The airport is currently undergoing a 20 million dollar renovaton as it is the first aviation entry point into Alaska for most private planes.

Sourdough Campground in Tok. We arrived in time to take part in the pancake toss!! The object is to toss day old pancakes into a bucket and win a free breakfast the next morning. We didn't win, but a lot of fun. The camp host was from the Sebago,Me. area.
