June 29 Haines Alaska USA

                                             Drving down the road I saw Yogi Bear
                                             Observing traffic on the Haines highway
                                Coming close to the road.  Our car windows were closed quickly
                                  How'd you like this crossing your street in your hometown
                                     Looking down Haines highway towards Haines Alaska
                           The Statendam in front of our home on the Lynn Canal in Haines

Back in Alaska here at Haines. We have an RV park right on the Lynn Canal which is where all the cruise ships dock. In fact right now the Holland-America Statendam is in port a stones throw from our campground. Today we crossed the border and the immigration officer asked where are you from I said OWINGS mills Maryland, he said where is Fallston Maryland. Luckily I knew or I might have been denied entry. We saw bears all along the highway and even on the highway. What a weird sight! They just roam around like they own the place and when you think about it they do sure keep the humans away so I guess they do own the place.  Supposedly if they havent eaten our food they are afraid of humans.  I asked Ellen to check out that theory but she declined. Go figure!!!!

We checked our ferry reservation to Skagway and will leave Friday night. Then we went to the money store also known as the supermarket. The prices in the north are so expensive. 12 pack of coke is $10. I needed CPR. More tomorrow on Haines.
