On Thursday, we went to Ketchikan. We got in at 6AM again, but only stayed for about 6 hours. We originally were going to go bear watching, but the excursion got canceled due to a problem with floatplanes crashing. So, we scrambled and went on a kart tour into the forest. It was worth it. |
Ketchikan Karts |
The kart ride was 5 miles into the forest, where we saw a lake and waterfall, then 5 miles back home. The road was narrow and some times the drop off would be deadly. It was fun. |
Ketchikan is an interesting little city on an island. Again, no roads lead in and out of the city to the mainland. We took a bus to the far side of the island, where we did our kart rides, and then we got on a boat to go around the island and back into town. |
On the boat ride back, we saw several eagles. In the instance on the right, we had our boat about 150 feet from the bird |
