Haines Day 1

Day 61, Monday, 8/17: More frost heaves for another 50 miles. Stopped at Sheep Mountain information center and saw lots of Dall sheep on the mountainside! The most we have seen so far. Wishing we had better binoculars and a better camera! No other critters were seen today. We left the trailer at an RV park in Haines Jct. and drove south. Long day to Haines although nice scenery. Had clouds and fog along the way and visibility was limited at times. Crossing the border once again into the US and they only asked where we were from and if we had any alcohol. I said, yes some wine in the frig which was true since we left the other stuff in the trailer back in Haines Jct.! He said as long as it was for personal consumption it was OK. We are here for a few days at Oceanside RV park right on the water. Close to town so we can walk there tomorrow and check it out. Evidently there is a cruise ship in the harbor that couldn’t dock today because of the high winds. Someone said the weather is remnants of a typhoon in the Pacific… Since we haven’t listened to any news or weather we have no idea what is happening! We do have cable TV here so maybe we will learn something…

Discovered that we left SPOT in the trailer in Haines Junction… Oh well…
