When we woke up this morning at 8:00 it was 33.6 degrees. We decided to stay another day in this pretty place and move to town. First we went to the municipal dump site to dump our tanks. What looks in the picture like a pretty pond is actually sewage from the trailer dump. We moved to an RV park on the lake and we got the site the owner calls "The Penthouse". This site is on a small spit into the lake. It has it's own little deck on the lake with a picnic table and umbrella. We have water and electric, and wi-fi. We saw a porcupine at camp. After setting up we drove to the old settlers cemetery. Most of the graves date from 1900-1915. It was interesting how some of the people died. Some of the headstones said, "found dead on the trail", "shot mistaken for a bear", "died of starvation", "found dead in the woods", "died in a mining accident", "killed in a railway accident", "died from an accidental gunshot wound", "drowned on Taku Arm". We went back to camp and had lunch then drove out to Pine Creek Falls and Surprise Lake, and then to Warm Bay to see Llewellyn Glacier, Palmer Lake, and Warm Springs. This spring is not hot, it is 85 degrees. Jim took a dip and said it wasn't warm so I didn't get in. The day started out clear but got totally cloudy by the afternoon.
