We arrived in Haines on Tuesday. At 9:30 p.m. it was still light, so we drove directly to the ELKS lodge and found a spot with full hookups. We decided to stay three nights and take a Fast Ferry to Skagway. We spent the next day exploring Haines on foot, and later on our bikes. It is such a beautiful little town. One thing we have really liked about small towns is that visitors stand out, and they are always interested in talking to us. We met some very interesting people in Haines. Also, we have been on three ferries since leaving Prince Rupert, and one couple has been on every ferry. The woman appears to have early onset Alzheimers or some other disability. It touches our hearts to see how he cares for her. He is so gentle and patient with her. We spent some time talking with them today, and we hope to see them again along the road. They are headed the same direction as us.
