NORTH ????? OR SOUTH?????

What a GREAT time in our Lives!! Catherine and I are trying to decided where to plant our feet. Two possibilities are on extreme ends of the State. The real funny part is that each can chip onto the golf course green from the back yard and we don't golf.

Oh.....what to do...... I am sure we will figure
it out pretty soon.

Back To Seattle

The end to a great vacation. Just hanging around before going to the airport. What a great traveling Partner!!

Don't ya just Love Her!!
We found this gum wall in Seattle. Added to it.... actually is was a little......no a lot Gross!
Back to the grind........Rentals....Rentals..... We sure love it.
Air port .....last stop....
They thought this was funner that me.
Not to sure about all the fish..... Allergies and all.
Could not believe all the fresh stuff and the open Market.

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.
