Haines (still again)

The next day we drove out to the campground as is was AGAIN a beautiful hot day.

This is a photo looking toward the ferry terminal (which we tried to get on, but BOTH ferries were fully booked).  You can see the catamaran Fast Ferrie in the mid left hand corner.  The mountains are amazing around Haines.

The salmon were running so we are expecting to see a lot of fishermen on the river.

Here we are close to the boat launch at Chilkoot Lake.  Other than the mosquitoes, it was beautiful.

 Right beside the lake there is this kiosk.  They have kids life jackets in case you were stupid enough NOT to have a life jacket for your child when you went out on the water.  I was VERY IMPRESSED!

We watched the fisher persons on the Chilkoot River, as the salmon are now running.  You know, the state of Alaska allows all Alaskan resident to put nets in the river to catch up to 50 salmon for their family.  We saw nets, but thought maybe they are only for the First Nations.  No sireee.  Not in Alaska.
