We are in Ferndale Washington in Alaska terms "The Lower 48"
From Juneau we took the Ferry to Sitka, Wrangell, Ketchikan and Prince Rupert where we started our trip home
In Juneau we saw the Mendenhall Glacier it had a spot of deep blue color it was very pretty It rained most of the time we were in Juneau. In Sitka we walked around town and visited the Elks In Wrangell we went sightseeing and visited a place called the Bear Fortress They take abandoned bears and find good zoos for them. In Ketchikan we took a boat ride to the Misty Fjord on the ride we saw some Eagles, Ptarmigan (prononced tarmagain) Alaska's State bird other birds A lot of beautiful mountains not many waterfalls as there had not been much rain also Nyla went shopping with Pat and Margi There were 4 or 5 cruise ship in most every day. In Prince Rupert we went sightseeing and a tour of an old Cannery the tour was very interesting We have seen more than I have told you about we will save it for home
After leaving Prince Rupert headed to Houston to stay one night and on to Prince George to stay and find out if we would be able to travel the 97 or change direction as there was a fire in Williams Lake area with a lot of smoke. The next day we left and were able to go through Williams Lake and we stayed at Cashe Creek the next day we left for Ferndale where we are now
Tomorrow Pat and Ken head for home and we are going to do sightseeing around Washington and do some visiting
