26 June 2018. Juneau Alaska
We were able to find a nice campsite, with only a few hundred mosquitos, at the Medenhall Glacier Campground near Juneau. There weren’t many campers in the park at all, so we found a spot on the water at Mendenhall Lake. Perfect for Kayaking to the Glacier later this week.
We decided to check out the town a bit, there were way too many cruise ship people in town. But we did stop and take a picture of the infamous Red Dog Saloon for Bob and Cathy:
And, because cruise ship people don’t need parking spaces, we were able to find one and pick up a few doodads
Took a drive up the coast and stopped at the Shrine of St Therese. Beautiful gardens there, very peaceful.
On the way back to the campground we saw our first Alaskan bear. A black bear, just wandering down the highway.
