We were past the Chilkoot River and running out of road when I spotted this yellow boat. The apparent owner was sitting on the bay side of the road (house on the other side). So we turned around and I stopped close to his drive and walked over to ask if he minded if I went on his property to take a photo of the boat. He said, “I thought you stopped to see the bear.” What bear? There was a grizzly, sort of young and a bit bedraggled, in the shallow water about 50 feet to the right of the boat and I never saw it. At that point I asked if I could shoot both and he sort of smiled when he said yes. Another tourist! We had a nice visit with he and his adult daughter who was home to visit on her annual trip from Seattle.
