Sailing
toward Ketchikan |
|
 |
There
are a few solitary houses with
no roads visible |
 |
 |
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
A Memorial to the miners and early
settlers |
|
 |
|
No ship excursion by bus, we have
our own plan |
|
there's a trail above the city of "moderate difficulty" It's
just up this road |
 |
Do we need encouragement? |
|
 |
|
We go this wasy |
That
sign WAS a warning Straight UP! |
 |
 |
Definitely a steep hill |
|
 |
|
 |
|
We
could have taken A BUS? For $2? |
We're not there
yet |
 |
 |
At least the view is pretty |
|
 |
|
 |
|
Serious uplift once caused this |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
At last we are here |
|
 |
|
This
is moderate difficulty? Wonder how far the steps and railing go |
|
 |
|
Not
Far! Nothing but a narrow trail of steep rocks, slippery gravel and dirt The Alaskan definition of "moderate difficulty" |
|
 |
|
 |
|
 |
These scary looking insects are everywhere Time to retrace our steps |
Water
through the rocks |

Finally
back at the port |
|
 |
|
Joining the tourists shopping along
the boardwalk |
|
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
The road goes right under the houses |
|
 |
|
 |
 |
Looking down from our cabin balcony Joe took my picture as I photographed the attacking eagle sculpture I am the figure in red, waving at him
|

Back onboard the ship |
