After days on board ship and eating all the cruise food, it was time for us to get moving. Once we landed in Haines, we headed out on a hike my aunt had recommended to Battery Point. We hiked through the prettiest forest out to a point where we could see the whole bay. The forest had several streams running through it and even under the tree roots. We saw sweet peas, lupines, irises, columbines, and chocolate lilies, and plant leaves bigger than Evy.
While we were on our hike we got a call from my uncle. He had broken half of his front tooth off while they were riding ATVs. Brad didn't have any tools with him, but as luck would have it Brad knew the town dentist from residency. Brad's friend was actually at a different clinic that day, but he was able to arrange for his office to get my uncle a temporary tooth to last throughout the trip.
That afternoon it was our turn to ride on the same ATVs that broke my uncle's tooth. We drove up the mountain in the rain. We watched as a bald eagle flew down into a pond and on to a lookout of the valley. After riding in the rain, which made it all the more fun, we made it to a cabin in the woods for dinner.
Then it was time to get cruising again.
