After a fairly short, but scenic drive through the very edge of the ice fields, we arrive in Haines. It seems like a fun idea to stay at the campground that is right at the end of Main Street on the water, but alas, the sign says "Campground Full." So I go inside to see if the sign is left over from last night. "No sir, the campground is full, as you can clearly see from the sign! Is that your rig...wait a minute, are you willing to camp with no utilities? Sure, we can fit you in...right down next to the water, with a fantastic view...would that be okay....but you gotta camp next to Bob...he's Canadian, ya know...Bob ya ain't gonna bite this fella from Virginia, is ya?" And that's how we got a spot right on the water. This whole town looks like it was a set for "Northern Exposure." And in reality was the set for the Disney movie, White Fang.
We went out for lunch at the Bamboo Bar, seafood & local beer, then for a walk, checked out the cruise ship that's in port, and then to the local brewery for a beer, back to a recommended local haunt, The Lighthouse for seafood & beer. Finally back to the RV to watch the cruise ship set sail.
