It was still raining when we got up this morning so we decided to do indoor stuff today. On the way to town we saw the momma grizzly and her two cubs. The momma was walking in the river and the two cubs were on shore wrestling. They are so cute. We went to the library and Jim updated the blog and I went to to the visitors center. Afterward we went to Mosey's Cantina and had Mexican food. It was the first Mexican food we have had in a very long time. When we were finished eating we were on our way to a museum and ran into a couple from San Francisco with a Burro. It was without wheels and mounted on the back of his truck. We talked to them for a while and then we all went to the museum. This museum only had hammers. Big hammers, little hammers, old hammers, doctor hammers (reflex), judges hammers (gavels), construction hammers, promotional hammers, welders hammers, railroad hammers, cobblers hammers, cattle stunning hammers. You get the picture, only hammers. The young girl working there was really into the hammers and she knew about each one of them. We had fun.

We left there and went to "Dalton City". This is the old movie set from the 1991 movie "White Fang". The buildings have shops the Haines Brewery is in one of them. Jim and I had a couple of beers and talked to a full time RV couple from Livingston, Texas. There is a walking tour of the old Fort William H. Seward but it was rainy so we toured it in the car. We needed to kill some time before we could go to the municipal swimming pool for showers (the time for showers was 5:30 - 7 pm) so we went to a bar and watched the Monday night football game until half time. We went for showers and then to the grocery store. When we drove back onto the campground road there was the other momma grizzly with her three cubs. Everyone was standing out taking pictures and the state park rangers were keeping order. We checked on the ferry to Skagway and the next daytime sailing is on Thursday morning at 7:15 am so we will probably be here until then. Maybe tomorrow it won't be raining.
