7-24 SATURDAY

Made my summer trip to Haines today – left Portland early. Flew to Seattle, then to Juneau. Getting ready to board the ferry in Juneau for the 4.5 hour trip to Haines when the phone rang. Bob had taken the ferry from Haines and met me in Juneau, AND he kept it a secret. He got off the ferry and they let us get right back on. Arrived in Haines at 7:30. Camp is only 5 miles from the ferry terminal. Made rounds in the campground and then had company. The Park Ranger came by and also the Assistant Ranger Jen and her daughter.

52 degrees in Haines today, 92 in Portland. Full campground.

These first pictures are ones Bob took before I got there.
