Another quick one, but logger post within the next couple of days... promisimo.

Did Raven's, was awesome, good hike, neat cabin, low cloud with limited breaks... but got some good views of Wrangell Narrows and Fredrik's Sound. Hike back into town the next day and spent two nights in Peterburg. Loved it. Fishing village, proud (like most of AK), friendly, tasty, blah, blah. But alas we moved on... to greener waters (no really) and north to Haines. Did the overnight ferry through Juneau and arrived about 12 noon today.

This place is spectacular. Taller, more rugged and shit... the first blue sky we've seen. This afternoon we hopped on bikes out to Chilkoot River/Lake and caught our first bear... a male black, feasting on sockeye salmon. What a start!

We're back to camping - awesome place 3/4 a mile outside of town for $5 a night. Cha-ching!

K, time at the library is running out... we're going to do a 10 miler and get to 4,000 feet above this place tomorrow. Should be great and be in the high 60's. Wow!

Talk again, soon.

Love - a+r
