Day 61, Haines, Alaska

We are camped at a pull out 4.3 miles from Haines.  We have a reservation for 2 nights at the Oceanside RV Park in Haines starting tomorrow.  The park, as the name implies is right on the waterfront overlooking the bay.  We went ahead and paid for the sites today.  I had to pay $5 per night more since my rig was over 38 ft.  Gary squeezed by at 37 ft.  The cost for 2 nights with tax was $70.56.  I don’t know why my spot is $5 more since we are parked right next to each other and have the exact same hookup.  Twila said “just because they can”.

We went out to the ferry terminal today and picked up our tickets for all the trips we will be making on the ferries.  We found out we could park overnight in the loading lanes for the ferry after 8:30pm on Saturday night.  The ferry leaves and the office closes at 8:30.

We passed through Haines Junction on our way down today.  We stopped at a local restaurant and had breakfast and took some pictures of their tourist display at the intersection of the Alaska Highway and the Haines Highway.  A little bit “Hokey” but nicely done.
