Took the Inter Island Ferry, M/V Stikine, to nearby Prince of Wales Island, about 3 hours away from Ketchikan. Spent 4 nights on POW Island. We stayed the first night at JS True-Value Hardware, Lumber & RV Park at Craig, AK. Then Thorne Bay Municipal Campground, and Oceanview RV Park, at Coffman Cove. And ocean view it was! We even watched humpback whales there from our camper while we were eating dinner. We saw 10 of the small black-tailed Sitka deer, including a mom with 2 new babies. No bears. We visited the Haida native town of Hydaburg and the Tglinket town of Klawock, where we enjoyed visits to the Black Bear Grocery! The totem poles of each are very different styles. At Craig we had a good lunch and checked email at Annie Betty's Cafe. Had a delicious dinner at Ruth Ann's, also at Craig (which had the only restaurants on the island). POW Island is truly off the beaten path. Speaking of which, this is where Pat discovered that the bugs here LOVE her and she's allergic. Dr visit ensued.
