(1) Bob and I had a delicious lunch in the Salmon Bake Restaurant where there is so much atmosphere it was practically falling down the hillside - very tilty and a tad run-down. I had Alaska Fish Chowder (YUM), salmon sandwich, and Bob had (no surprise) a burger.
(2) Bob had a perfect comment about the river here which has a glacial source. "It looks like liquid cement." It was grey, looked thick, and was roiling and churning. there are crystal clear streams with mountain spring sources.
(3) Adventure of a different sort. We were heading back to the campground and had to stop because a tanker was burning. The truck was towing tandem tank trailers and the rear started to smoke and burn. The driver unhooked the front trailer from the rear and moved it away from danger. Eventually fire fighters and equipment came and put out the smoldering tire or brakes. It was is on the only road so no alternate route; but the delay was only an hour or so.
(4) Bob and I hiked up a trail leaving the campground, The Antler Creek Trail. We went up the steep hill to a sharp drop with views of the creek way down below.
