Prince Rupert BC

Ship was waiting for a load of grain the next morning Liked the picture as we headed out to sea. It is not a trip unless I catch Catherine coming out of the restroom. When a tree would come down. The would leave it to be what they called a Nursing tree. Made for some cool stuff. I had to do some real talking to get Brent and Edie to let me get this. Good Sports

Next time we will take this train. It looked like lots of fun to see the country.

Thought this was the radiator. Found it to be a snowblower to clear the track during the Gold Rush.

Sawyer Glacier......Priceless

View of the Sawyer Glacier. Notice toward the bottom center...the black dot....It is a boat bigger than mine with a load a spectators to get a closer look Another view of the boat off to the left a little. This shows the size of the glacier. Comming around the corner aproaching the glacier.

Views that just would not stop!!

Birds looking for a rest....I guess.

Loved the different waterfalls.

This is one cruise when everyone agreed that

having a stateroom with a balcony was worth the extra money.....View.....Priceless!!

The boat being towed is way larger than anything that any of us own. Oh......how would it be!!

There were abviously more than one glacier to look at.

Whale coming to the serface to get some are.

Another private boat tagging along.

4th Day......Juno Alaska

Taking a little time to shop the downtown stores. Off to our Adventure with the Zip Line.

Biggest smile of the day. I made it down to the solid ground.

Can you believe this......Catherine is repelling down off the platform... The only way down.

Catherine did not want to do this....She was a good sport. When it was all done. She had so much fun that she said she would like to do it again. Edie was planning the Brent on how they

could build one at home.

Smiles were coming as she got closer to the platform.

Notice the anxious look on this swinging bridge. The guide pushed off against a tree to get us rocking.

And off Catherine goes.........Where the end is she is not sure.

Josh was so at ease that he was taking a video while on the move.

Steve had it down pretty good right off the bat.

Diane wasn't sure on the stopping part.

Notice the thumbs up from the guide. Kim was having quite the adventure.

Some of the runs were longer than others.... Totally Awosome!!!

Bottom cable to glide on .....Top cable for braking. Got it???

Love the hard hats. Actually for most of us, they were nice because our heads would rub on the cable.

Edie......get straight with the cable. Don't want to be looking back at the group.

All smile and ready to roll!!

Two deep breaths and off we go.

Walking up to the place where the landings started. Nervous and a little under protest I think.

Plenty to keep us hooked up. Not to worry dear.

Beautiful little town. Kind of small for the Capital of Alaska.

Forgot 2nd Day

The days at sea were just as much fun. Tradition says that we walk. The average person gains 7-14lbs on a cruise. Not us.......The boat was 905 feet long. 4 laps = 1.4 miles. We would walk at least 8 laps a day. Sometime more just because it was so much fun. We were able to see the scenery on both sides during travel. So many choices of where to eat on the boat.. It was hard to choose.

Edie making sure that the salad didn't have Blue cheese. Right Kim!

Good Company.....Good Food!!

Steve making sure that he was in touch with the world.

Just does not get any better than this!!!

Good Bye Seattle.....See you in a Week.

3rd Day....Ketchikan, AK

Catherine and Edie decided that they wanted to go see totem poles (to her that is what she thinks of when talking of Alaska. They had a great time

Along with the day, they went to a Lumber Jack show and competition. Looks like fun.....I never

met a tool that I didn't like. Just bought a new

chainsaw for Brady to use while in Utah. Maybe I

should have bought a tubo like they had.

Small town, but lots going on.....Especially when

10,000 people show up from Cuise Lines.

I think there were like 76 Jewelry Shops long main street. All open a 7 am when we got off the ship. Diane and Kim stayed in town and shopped for BLING......Bling they got.

The guys......went for the fish. We had a great time but didn't catch like I did the last time up. Maybe it is because I fished for a week and this was a couple of hours only.

Boat name was "TONZA FUN"
