August 4, 2014
The forecasters missed it by a day. It
was raining this morning when we woke up. Cloudy and raining. It
was warmer – about 61. The good news is that by lunch the sun had
come out and it was a pretty nice day. The wind was blustery making
it cool enough to require a jacket.
We did more trip planing this morning
and made our next reservations for Stewart, BC. Hyder, Alaska is the
adjoining town and that is where we are really headed, but there is not
a RV park there that we want to use. Still not sure what we will do
after that, but maybe the Canadian Rockies. Partly depends on how
long we stay in Hyder which partly depends on the salmon run and
wildlife there.
When the sun came out we decided to
ride back out to Chilkoot Lake to see if the eagles and bears were out
again today. It is only10 miles to the park, but by the time we got
there it looked like it would rain and we didn't see any bears. The
water in the ocean was really rough today. There were a few eagles
out, but the lighting wasn't good for pictures. So we came back home
and cooked a nice, healthy, vegetable dinner. After that we walked
back downtown to get another of the good soft serve ice cream cones.
One of us has the habit of saying things just to aggravate the other
of us, like, “They are are going to be closed when we get there”
or “I bet they ran out of ice cream this morning.” When we got
downtown there was a tiny sign in the window stating, “Closed for
today only. Sorry.” Yes, he is in trouble and had to promise we
would go back tomorrow! Since we didn't get soft serve ice cream, we made a peach cobbler for dessert and topped it with vanilla ice cream from our freezer.
So today was the “boring” day we
had planned to have yesterday. Sorry, no pictures since there was no
ice cream. Maybe tomorrow.
