We drove from Tok to Haines on Sat.   We checked into our B & B which was part of the old Ft Seward,  Army base.  Our B & B was the chief surgeon’s home which is listed o the National Register of Historical Homes. 

The Fort was built around a parade ground similar to Yellowstone.  Some of the still standing buildings include: the laundry where the noncommissioned officers' wives did the officer's  laundry in "Soapsuds Alley"; the fort commissary; a private residence with a totem pole and a cannon sitting outside.  The cannon was cast in 1861; the bachelor officers'quarters and the captain's quarters to name a few.

Today we took a hike through a forest taking lots of pictures of unusual mushrooms and the light shining through the trees.

We need gas but have decided to only buy 4 gallons in the morning because it costs $4.71.  Yikes.

I had to sneak to take this guy's picture in Valdez.  Don't you love his "stach?"
