Ketchikan, Alaska Monday 9 June

Ketchikan, Alaska 


Ketchikan, Alaska Day 3 of our Cruise and the first stop:


To the the Lumber Jack Show:


Which was lots of fun:

Then on to Creek Street:


Which is very Photogenic:


Despite being the old red light district:


Being Alaska, had to get a photo of a Totem Pole:


Maybe more than one:



And a Float Plane:


They told us they get 14 feet of rain per year, the temperature was cool and it rained a little of course. But, had a real fronrteer feel about it. The most common vehicle was the pick-up truck.

Alaska is all about Mining, Forestry and Fishing, never saw a farm. So, a place with long days in Summer, it really never got completely dark at night while we were there, I guess you could say the sun went down about 10 pm and who knows what time it came up.

But in the Winter it is short days, storms, snow and nothing to do but drink
