Day Three


The first thing we did was go out to the street and catch "the bus. " This time it worked out well. We got on and the bus driver dropped us off at Ward Street. We then walked up and found the trail that took us to Ward Lake.  We walked all the way around the lake, about a mile and a half. Then we hiked to Perseverance Lake, another 2 1/2 miles. 










We ate blueberries and salmon berries along the way.

There were lots of beautiful flowers and ferms because we were in the Tongass National Forest rain forest.


After the hike we went back out to the road and caught "The Bus."  It took us to the end of the bus line which was at Totem Bight National Park. A bight is a place on the coastline that goes in where people made settlements because there was less wind and weather. There were lots of totem poles with informative descriptions. 





We picked up our bags at the Black Bear Inn and walked to Walmart to catch either a bus or shuttle. That was a big mistake because we got on the Walmart shuttle and it took us to the south end of downtown. Our hotel is on the north end of downtown so we had to call the Best Western shuttle so they could bring us where we need to be.
