Nothing planned for the group today, and after yesterday, that was fine for us. A relaxing day to take showers, find things and clean up. Rain started around noon and has been pitter patting on the Airstream all afternoon. Gassed up, read, watched a little TV and rested. Have a long drive tomorrow, 295 miles north to Koidern, Yukon. Will depart Alaska 30 miles north out of Haines and once again enter Canada. Customs has been painless on our two crossings, and have only been asked a few questions. When entering Alaska two days ago, they did not even ask if we had alcohol to declare. They seemed more interested in knowing if we had uncooked chicken or eggs….and for the life of me I don’t know how anyone could raise chickens in the wilderness with bears, wolves, ermine, mink, badgers and who knows what else that would gladly raid any chicken coop. And all citrus and avocados are banned, as if importing an orange and an avocado would infest the orange groves or the avocado crop in Haines. But rules are rules, so we just hid our oranges, avocados and fresh chicken.

Smugglers and criminals – both of us. If you never hear from us again, you now know where to start looking for us. In the Agriculture Department smugglers lockup.
