The town has no paved roads although they are working on paving 5 miles. There are 70 residents and there is no cell phone service. They do have pay phones in the town. We thought today was the 29th and so we went out dinner to celebrate our anniversary. After dinner we went to observe bears feeding on salmon. During the drive here we saw 2 black bears. At the bear viewing area we saw 2 grizzly's. There were 2 adult Bald Eagles and 5 juveniles. The eagles were eating salmon that the bears had quit eating.
