HAINES
roadside stop Today is Saturday and we took a ferry boat from Juneau to Haines - 4 hr boat ride, got up at 5am and left the harbor at 7am - got to Haines and drove 33 miles to The Roadhouse for Beers -and lo and behold the Seattle game was on TV!! Got to watch the first half and know that I left that bar confidently knowing Seattle would wind up winning.
Visiting Justin's friend "Jonno" - who has a huge house in the wilderness. Going to be here til Tuesday, then catching a ferry back to Juneau. Really different vibe up here in Haines- even more different that Juneau. Super Self Sufficient people everywhere, who work odd jobs, or buy fix and sell stuff and pretty much live off the land. Don't use credit cards, live hand to mouth in many ways. But, they are happy and get a real sense of accomplishment from doing what needs to be done everyday to survive up here. Gasoline is $4.68 - but Icehouse is only $4.99 / six pack - Lots of old cars that are in great shape, and everybody has a dog or two and a truck. While I find
Haines
Roadside stop this weird, It is just different.
Living life at a much slower pace - is what Justin called it.
Going to label all the pics tonite, but for now, here is another batch from today. One pic is the voodoo stencil I painted on Justin's travel case we took with us. Also there is pics from today's ferry - and also we stopped at Chilkoot Lake - bears go there just at dark to snag salmon. Going to chek that out tmrw. Bye For Now ~ JD
