Eagles & Whales

These are humpback whales right in front of our campsite in Haines, AK. Today we saw a pod of at least 6-8 whales. The dog at the boat barked everytime the blow was heard



More whales






Below is a picture of Fort Seward in Hines (first army post in Alaska)







While in Haines, we also camped one night at Chilkoot State Recreation Area with only two other campng. Finally used the gazebo!!





This a young eagle by the Chilkoot River (where I caught my first Dolly Varden) and they are quite agressive towards seagulls who were chasing small fish (called hooligans)





This the adult eagle right in front of our campsite

Third time (signing in) is a charm.Love your blog and the pictures are fabulous. Looks like you are having a great time, wish we were there.

Resist the temptation to become full time RV'ers.
