After sleeping in late we had a lazy day and rode our bikes to the end of the maintained road. Along the way we picked a whole bag of salmon berries and ate as many as we could while picking. I'll let you know tomorrow if we get sick. Then we hiked up Rainbow Falls trail. It was actually a boardwalk, like most of Alaska's hiking trails -- thanks to Ted Stevens's earmarks. We explored Petroglyph Beach where the art is between 3,000 and 10,000 years old. We rode around town until we found all the totem polls and finally went to the visitor's center to be sure we hadn't missed anything. Every business in town closes at 5:00 PM except the grocery store which stays open an extra hour. So, the streets are now rolled up and we will do as the locals do and go to bed soon.
We are off to Ketchikan tomorrow.
