Once again I ask for your forgiveness in the delay in posting today's notes as once again there was no free Wi-Fi access.
Later today we are to travel to Petersburg.
This morning was laundry day. We all know when we go on vacation one of the first things we need to do when we get home is the laundry. Well, we have two weeks down and 6 weeks to go, so the laundry needed to be done.
Later this morning, still in Wrangell, we drove out of town to 'Rainbow Falls'. It was a 0.6 mile hike through a rain forest. Most of the trek was up hill on a wooded set of steps. The 'board walk' was only two boards wide (maybe 10 inches), not a regular set of steps. The falls are 100' in heigth.
We then went back to Petroglyph Beach. This time we did find around 15 of the little rock chippings. A dog from the neighborhood was around, wanting to play. He carrier a small log (a tree limb about 3 inches in width and 12 - 15 inches long) and placed it at the feet of anyone who would let him do it. When the log was thrown, he brought it back, even if it ended in the ocean.
The 3 hour ferry ride today was a little more interesting that the others. The channel used could only be used at high tide. There were sections that seemed to be only 10 - 12 feet on either side of the vessel. The locals also told us that if there was not enough water they just skipped the port call.
We arrived in Petersburg (Little Norway) and checked into the hotel by 11:00 pm. At most of these towns the ferry dock is outside of town, so finding our way at night, and sometimes in the rain, was interesting and challenging.
