Ferry to Petersburg
Our next ferry left port at 2:30 AM (!), requiring us to line up at 1 AM. We tried to catnap in the evening, without success and once we boarded we were wide awake and it was daylight. The ride was only 3 hours, so when we got settled in the campground, it was nap time.
These people have been on the ferry all night. They also set up tents on the deck outside.
We hit the jackpot with this campground. There wasn't much choice in Petersburg, and this one is barely more than a parking lot, but overlooks the water. When I checked in the lady gave us freshly baked Norwegian cookies, and later that day she brought over a dungeness crab from their crab pots, all cleaned and cooked. Today, they took their grandkids fishing and caught 4 halibut. We will get a piece after they are cleaned. Wow. Everyone here is so nice.
I took a hike this morning along the coastline. What a beautiful walk. It was only about 2 miles but kind of rugged, alot of climbing over and around roots and downed trees. Totally worth it though, the day was glorious.

This is Blind River Rapids, the salmon are just starting to come up. We followed a young man down to the water and within 5 minutes he had landed a nice King Salmon, about 15 pounds. Ed offered to buy it from him, he said they had plenty in the freezer, so he gave it to us. We grilled some for supper. Out of this world!!
The eagles were soaring all over the place, we counted 18 at one time.
