Sheldon Museum & Cultural Center

This morning I went up to the laundry here in the campground and washed 4 loads. The washers cost $3 for a top loader and $3.50 for a front load washer and the dryers cost 25¢ for 3 minutes. The total cost for doing laundry today was $19.00.

After lunch we drove to the Sheldon Museum and Cultural Center. We spent about an hour looking at exhibits and displays of Tlinglit and Chilkat history and culture.

We saw displays of the early settlers and of Fort Seward.

We even saw this dogsled that was in the 1991 movie "White Fang" which was filmed in Haines and Skagway.

After leaving the Sheldon Museum, we drove around Haines some more and then north of Haines for a little distance. We had seen this cemetery on our way down to Haines and stopped today to take a photo of it. We found the railings around some of the graves to be interesting and different from any we'd seen before.

We passed by one of the gas stations here in Haine and saw that the price of regular was $4.629.

We saw this RV parked near the Visitor Center. It's a military vehicle that has been converted into a RV and is owned by a Belgian man. I was curious about the vehicle and found a photo of it on a website for military vehicles.

Tomorrow we have a 9 a.m. appointment at John's Tires to have a new receiver hitch put on the RV.
