One
day Ira Bob and I took a tour around the Island. Though we did see a town
or two, the attraction for us was the natural beauty of the place. A place
etched in my memory was Stony Creek, above and to the left. This is where
I once witnessed 'Swims with fishes' doing his thing.
I
promised myself to remember the name of this lovely lake just doen the
road from the town of Thorne Bay, but I didn't.
East
of Thorne BAy we stopped at Slide Creek because not only was its beauty
alluring, but it was full to the brim with salmon.
See
what I mean?
Up
from the creek a piece, there were some youngsters enjoying the 'warm'
day in the water. They had a fireas well. We weren't tempted to try the
water.
We
just poked around and kept all our clothes on.
This
is the Thorne Bay town dock where we came several times to reprovision.
From town to the moorings.
From the moorings to town
This
prety much concluded our trip. Soon we were waiting at the dock for the
float plane to arrive for our trip back to Ketchikan.
Danny
Fikes teased us by catching salmon off the Floatel dock as we waited for
the plane.
This is the Fikes Family bidding us goodbye.
Danny, Dick and Charolette.
