MAY 28 FRIDAY - DAY 10

Today we went to town early. Fuel, laundry, showers, and bank. Back to camp. We brought a kayak with us on the trip. Bob decided he better give it a try before I left. Only had one dip in the lake as he tipped it over. I did not know whether to laugh or see if he needed help! After he got settled in he went out on the lake for about a half hour. Thinks it will work OK. 4:00 we went back to town to have fish and chips at the Lighthouse right on the harbor. Today it is 75 again so there are people out everywhere! Beautiful day. Back to camp. Gave Bob a haircut, not sure when the next one will be! We heard a loud crashing noise across the lake up in the mountains. We could see the dust where there had been a big rock slide. When we looked in the binoculars there were 4 goats up above the slide. It didn’t seem to bother them. Mosquitoes are light so far this year. Have only used spray a couple of times. Bob has fished several times. Had a Dolly Varden on today. There are no salmon in the river yet and the fish weir has not been set yet. Everyone is waiting on the fish! Eagles, bears, fishermen, and tourists! We usually see 8-10 eagles every day .We saw quite a few black bears on the way up, but did not see any grizzlies, and we have not seen a brown bear here at the lake.
Same bear: grizzlies inland and browns on the coast.
