But, it’s Alaska. Why shouldn’t it be cold. I head out in quest of my lodgings. What if it’s not there? What if it’s awful? What’s Plan B? Plan B was to race back to the ferry. But no worries lodging was found and it’s great.
There are a lot more shops than there were 20 years ago. The park service has restored more buildings. But there’s no people.
Well, there are some people. Enough to have a small town “go fund me” event for some deserving soul. It was sponsored by the local brewery. The barbecue and beers were good but I was cold. Back to my room and bed. By the way sunset is at about 10:30 and it comes up at about 3:30.
After a modest 5,000 calorie breakfast, I head out on a little hike. Fortunately, I have trained on the Asylum Wilderness Trail!
I pick Cemetery. I run into a few people and dogs. I believe in the scheme of hikes, this would be considered easy. But it was enough for me.
It was 65 degrees and wonderful today.
