New shoe for Edna

7/23/2013

Lynn:

Yesterday we drove into Whitehorse so we could get a new tire for Edna and so we could stay at the Ramada to be able to do the laundry.  We did both things, then went out to eat at a restaurant called Earl’s.  A great choice.  Very lively, seemed like a local place.  Very good and we had fun.  Unfortunately, the bed in the Ramada was a full, not a queen, and it was lousy.  Neither of us got any sleep.  We are both exhausted today.  We drove to Skagway, where we got a ferry to Haines.  Upon arriving in Haines we caught up with Jim Wilson.  Jim had plans for the evening, but we decided to meet up around 8.  We were not able to in the end, tho because we went to eat at a place called the Fireweed and while it was fun and good, we were there for 2.5 hours, waiting to have a piece of pizza.  Then we had to get back to the Salmon Run campground and finish setting up for the night and so we told Jim we would catch up with him in Grayling.

Skagway is obviously very touristy, but in a nice way

Jim has an artistic flair.  He has created these sculptural forms from found rocks, and placed them along the front of his year.

Haines is quite beautiful
