Haines Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Miles: 0 Weather: Cloudy and Cool Alex and I slept in because we were to report to the Alaska Ferry terminal at 1800 so we had time to kill.

August 13/98 551 Km Route: Hwy #1E, Hwy #3S, Hwy #4S, Hwy #7S Destination: Haines Alaska We had a good sleep last night; John wasn't too bad in the snoring department.
