Hello from Ketchikan
« on: August 05, 2016, 12:23:43 PM »
Finally!!! I'm really standing on Creek Street! Onboard the Island Princess and moored at Berth #4, we explored downtown Ketchikan for an hour or so, let the little lady do some shopping and then we're taking off on a two hour "Carlin Air" Beaver tour into the Misty Fjords NP!!!! Rudyard Bay will be where we touchdown on a lake at then back down the Behm Canal, passing over New Eddystone Rock and back to Ketchikan. I'll have pictures to share later.

So excited,

Brad

You probably know more about the area than the pilot does. Don't tell him that though!

He drank a 5th of whiskey, shot a native woman and now he's looking for that polar bear he's supposed to wrestle so he can become a "Sourdough".
(to paraphrase an old Alaskan joke  :)
