SUMMER CAMP HAINES ALASKA 2010: 7-30 FRIDAY

Sat along the river this morning. Each day starts with breakfast, then walking the campground to pull tags if anyone has left and pick up anyone who came in late the night before. That has not been a problem because most nights the campground is full. Then the toilets get swabbed out and new toilet paper gets installed. Then we get to leave. At night the bathrooms usually get checked again and we walk the campground checking for paid tags and collecting from new arrivals. Everything gets logged on a sheet with license plate numbers of vehicles in camp and if they pay during the visit the money gets dropped in a holder at the entrance to camp. When the campground gets full a sign is hung out at the entrance. CAMPGROUND FULL.

No bears until 4:00 when we were leaving to meet friends at the Elks for hamburgers. The bear walked out on the weir a ways. Matt was counting fish. He banged on the weir and the bear ran back to shore. Then he slowly came back out on the weir and didn’t give up until he caught a fish!

Back at camp counted chickens, built a fire, and did lots of visiting.
Full campground 65 degrees today.
