August 6. Boarded the ferry to Juneau this morning at 9:15. Had a nice big breakfast on board to get us started. Cloudy and overcast most of the way. We are camped at Mendenhall Lake campground and since it is a National Forest the senior pass applies. What a sin to pay $5 night to camp! The beauty of our campsite is that the glacier is right in back of us.
August 7. Rain most of day. Used library's wifi till the whole mall lost power. We were hungry anyway, so we went for Chinese- Little Hong Cong. This was one of the best I have had.
August 8. Booked our ferry to Skagway for the 14th. Must be at terminal at 5am for 7am departure. Spent a lot of time shopping - what more can you do on a rainy day?
August 9. More rain, but it sure does not curtail our activities. Pizza today at Bullwinkles across from the library.
August 10. Sunny at last! Decided to stay at camp and enjoy it. Day spent cleaning, repairing and general camping necessities. I picked blueberries by our campsite- quite tasty. Duke picked a few for me- pictures will follow as soon as I download them.
It has been great to hear about your travels! We are envious but hope to make it to Alaska someday.
ReplyDeleteI need to get a map and try to locate some of these wonderful places.
Safe travels!
