Not sure if this village reminds us more of Rivendell or
Lothlorien, maybe it is the land beyond the sea? Who knows but it sure does seem like a
magical place out of Lord of the Rings.
There is an outer cove and an inner harbor. Most of the houses and buildings are built
around the boardwalk, either on stilts on the water side or into the forest on
the side of the hill that seems to rise straight up out of the water. Several hundred people are here in the summer,
either commercial fishing or chartering but the population drops to 6 last
winter. It is a bit remote! Chances are, if you have bought salmon from
Costco, it has a high probability of coming through this port.
As we were walking around we stopped to help a lady hang her
specials sign over the top of her flower garden. This turned out to be the local pub/restaurant,
so after our walk we stopped in for a beer.
The conversation was so good we decided to come back for dinner and have
a slice of that homemade and home grown rhubarb pie.
We are getting an early start today for Hoonah as the tidal
currents are brutal. There is supposed
to be a big blow coming down the Lynn Canal in the next few days. We are supposed to meet Angie, an old family
friend, either in Juneau or Skagway as she passes through on a cruise ship. Both require navigating the Lynn Canal. Hopefully the blow will be finished and allow
us to meet up. It should, but who knows.
