Grizzlies and Glaciers

OK.  There was just one grizzly.

But there were hundreds--maybe tens--of glaciers.

We started our day early.  Our mission:  to get to Haines in time to see the town.  Our ferry to Juneau leaves in the morning at 9.  We'd been warned that a fifty-mile stretch of the Alaska Highway would be gravel--it was that, but much worse.  It was riddled with frost heaves.

Fortunately, we hit this part of the road early, before the big trucks were out.  The rest of the highway skirted Kluane National Park and other parks, presenting us with many more glacial vistas.

Tonight we are staying in a B&B.  Not exacty a captain's mansion--more like Smee's hideaway.
