The Day the Eagles Landed

There were no church options in Haines that we were willing to try, our first Sunday to miss and it felt odd. In the morning we went to Chilkoot SP hoping to see wildlife along the lake and river. I did get to add a new bird, a Varied Thrush. I saw the bird only because there was a lady leading a nature tour and she pointed it out. I was not able to photograph it. The place was, predictably, beautiful. We watched mergansers in the river and several eagles. I got photos but not the one I want yet. We spent the afternoon doing trailer chores, laundry, some poor, spotty internet at a coffee shop and packing for Sitka. In the evening we did a hike in the rain forest that was enchanting. 

Cadillac’s Most Correct Viewpoint

Something is up. This is not the Alaska I expected and the guides are putting clothes into a cloth satchel. I’m not worried because resourcefulness is one of my most outstanding qualities. But, hmmmm. BdB is proving, under my tutelage, to be useful. It took him a long time but he found a coffee shop for me. It is a good thing I am naturally adorable because the prices were high for the lattes. Of course, I did not have to pay and the staff all smiled at me. Now, what is causing the suspicious behavior from the guides?
