Lady Baltimore. She was shot and is blind in one eye and has damaged wing.
Another beautiful day in Juneau. The locals are loving this weather - in the low 70's - it rains here a lot so they get out to bask in the sun when they can. We took the tram ride to the top of Mt. Roberts today and went to the fish hatchery. We heard bears hang out there, but again, no luck for the Pattens. We did see 2 bear in the road yesterday outside Juneau. We walked around down town Juneau for a while. We have to check in at the ferry tomorrow at 6:00 a.m. (ouch) for our 4 1/2 hour ride to Sitka.
Comments from Eldon: I enjoyed the scenery in Juneau and watching the salmon jumping at the hatchery, but its a small town with big city infrastructure. It has 40 mile of highway with a state trooper every 3 miles standing in the road with their radar gun. People have no where to go except "the road". The tram ride was nice and the film about the Tlingits (local Indian tribe) was interesting. Their art is cool, especially the totem poles.
Comments from Larry: Glad to get back to the great camp site, after waiting in the truck all day for my people to get done sightseeing. I hear we are getting back on the ferry tomorrow. I'd rather stay in Juneau...................
