If you haven't taken the Alaska Marine Highway yet, you should. Hey, you get to visit Wrangell, AK! I've had a great time and all kinds of weather. You've seen the beautiful scenes from our trip from Skagway to Juneau. We also had a nice ride from Juneau to Ketchikan.
In Ketchikan, we stayed at a great place right on Creek Street...The New York Hotel. Sorry Anthony...We never found the "bucket bar." Next time I guess!
Today was a very different ferry experience. We woke up at 4:15am this morning in Ketchikan to driving rain and 60 mile-an-hour winds. When I drove my little Honda onto the ferry at 6:20am, the AMH staff warned me on the car deck, on the stairs, at the Purser's office and in the cafeteria that today was "going to be a bumpy one." Well, they didn't lie! We had quite a ride...I even had to remind myself a couple of times that I've been on the Bering Sea and that this was no big deal. My Dad was a real trooper though. People were running outside left and right and he just curled up and took a nap.
Still swaying from today's ride, we are now hanging out in a cute little B&B built right on the dock at Cow Bay in Prince Rupert, B.C., Canada. The goal tomorrow is to drive the 450-500 miles to Prince George or Ten Mile Lake. I hope it isn't raining there! I feel like I am beginning to mold...
I'll shut up now and add pictures.
Cheers,
Kelly
My Dad wanted to add that there were 13 foot seas today...
