WHO IS DRIVING THE FERRY?

HEY! THAT BOOK DOESN"T HAVE A PILOT'S LICENSE.

WHAT THE CRUISE SHIPS WON'T TELL YOU ---

THE FERRY SHIPS OF THE ALASKA MARINE HIGHWAY SYSTEM TAKE YOU THE SAME PLACES BUT FOR A BETTER PRICE.

BEAUTIFUL, UNSPOILED HAINES.

Still the real and raw Alaska.

The sights of Haines.

Downtown Haines.

OUTLANDISHLY STUNNING VIEWS EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK.

THE HAMMER MUSEUM

Here even the bike is made of hammers.

Haines' "Dalton City," the film set of WHITE FANG.

TOM & LIZ HEYWOOD of BABBLING BOOK.

The Haines Library hosts a variety of events.

This library won the "Best Small Library in America" in 2005.

The library starts to fill up as people arrive.

.

High tech video broadcasting links library events.

My talk was broadcast live from the Haines library to the Craig and Anchor Point libraries as well.

There's a wait list for this title.

After a hard winter, this car has seen better days

and so has the tree.

Look who's driving now.

NOT JUST ANY BIRDS, THIS TREE IS FULL OF EAGLES.

This eagle turned its head 180 degrees to watch me

.

Bald eagles flying in pairs -- it must be spring.

The pairs fly so high you can't see them. Then they join and plummet down like a pair of rocks.

I hate to leave Haines but...
