There is a post office, a school and a library. There is a Bath House, over a natural hot spring, with hours posted for times that men/women can use it.

All went well and we arrived in Sitka for the evening. Kelley, Chuck and I went for a short walk and ended at the Pioneer Bar for an Alaskan Amber, my favorite!
