Ketchikan

Note to self:  OK, first it is really difficult to keep up with Blogging when you are in and out of internet service and trying to copy and paste logs, but I am still at it trying to figure all this out...(Where's Kelly when I need her!!!)

Our trip on the ferry Columbia was absolutely beautiful and peaceful along the Inside Passage!  It took 1 day and 13 hours!  It was like floating in time with a 360 degree of unspoiled nature surrounding you!  The ferry moves so slow that it is easy to capture the scenery and wildlife along the way. We arrived in Ketchikan early in the morning which allowed us to spend the entire day exploring the highlights...visiting the totem pole villages on the north and south of town, cycle to a salmon steam (Jerry I will need you to help me land one of these LARGE fish), watch young eagles (they look quite different then a mature bald eagle, kayate the waterfront area (we saw starfish hanging on to the rocks until high tide returned) and a mystical hike along a beautiful waterfall.  We ended our day with a local fare of fresh seafood and then hopped onto the Ferry Tuke.  Where we met our friends Vickie and Dick for the trip to Petersburg.
