I had off today so decided to check out the other end of the island. When you bike all of Sitka in a few hours you really do realize how small this place is. I had to stop when passing the Theobroma Chocolate Company to purchase some sweats made right here in Sitka. It’s definitely a better deal going to the Theobroma factory vs buying one of their chocolate bars somewhere else. You can get a larger bag of odds and ends chocolate that didn’t exactly turn out looking perfect for the price of a few normal bars. They don’t look as pretty but taste just as good.


-Theobroma Chocolate Factory.


-My goods.

When you pass the Sitka industrial park the road turns to gravel for the next few miles. I biked till the end of the road until I reached the End sign by Silver Bay. The road then turns into a small trail leading to a power plant or at least that's what I have been told. I also heard there are a lot of bears beyond this point so decided it would be best to not explore further on my own with out the company of the others.




-Big spotted banana slug.






-Beautil falls right off the road.

That night Richard and Kerstin had a party at their house. I was highly delighted at the amount of dogs that were there. Richard has a huge labradoodle named Dartanian, Kirstan recently adopted a husky mix named Refer and Zoie’s new mastiff puppy Sitka was there as well. At one point the neighbors tiny yellow labrador made an appearance.


-Kirstan and Refer.


-Morgan, Reece and Steve gathered around the roaring fire.
