Today was the first non-sunny day since we've arrived. It was considerably cooler, but MC still wore shorts after work! It pretty much looked like this all day, with fog all around the mountains. The top pic has Mt. Edgecombe (our extinct volcano) in the distance. The next two pics are just around town. The forecast for this weekend is rain, but everyone around here is happy. The nice beautiful weather we've been having means that it hasn't been raining, which means that the mountain streams are low are water, which means there are very few fish upstream, which means the bears are coming down to town! There have been quite a few people "swiped" on hiking trails in the past few weeks, so most trails are closed. AND now many people are seeing bears in their trash right here in town. It's a whole different world up here! So hopefully the weekend rain will solve the town's bear situation. Right now I think MC and I are the only ones in Sitka that haven't seen a bear. We'll keep you posted on that! :)
