We both had blueberries in our cereal this morning. We drove to Haines Junction, Canada and took in some of the sights. We saw a sculpture of animals the locals call "the muffin". We visited another Catholic Church built from a Quonset hut. The inside was pretty. There was a street sign post that the person living on the corner made out of antlers. We continued on and made a stop at the last remaining Indian fishing village in this area. Klukshu Indian Village was a neat place. There were lots of little log houses and fish drying huts and caches. There were bright red salmon in the creek. Our next stop was at Million Dollar Falls. Driving down the road afterwards we saw two trumpeter swans. Then we saw two vehicles stopped on the roadside. There was a very large grizzly bear eating soap berries. He wasn't bothered by us and continued to eat. Then along came three massive motor homes pulling cars that made such a noise they scared him away. Later we saw a black bear walking in the road and when we approached he went into the woods. The weather has been cloudy all day. After arriving in Haines, Alaska we dumped, got water and gas, and proceeded to the Chilkoot Lake campground and got a site. On the way we saw a momma grizzly bear and two cubs in the stream harassing a fish and game man who was counting fish at a small dam. We lucked out again and got the last remaining waterfront pull through site on Chilkoot Lake. The camp host came by and told us we were very lucky, the lakefront site usually last only minutes once they are vacated. We chilled out the rest of the afternoon and will go into Haines tomorrow.
