Alaska Finally
Found a way to post my alaska trip in slide shows here… I put them on you tube. So for those who’ve been asking, here they are…. [edit 09/19/090 changed the music tracks for each - Skagway to Yukon has given me some trouble .. i’t give it another try -fuck it Skagway is stuck with the soundtrack Quicktime gave it.]
Stop 1 (after a day traveling up the inside passage) Ketchican and a walking tour of the Tungass Rainforest… Lots of bear sign and sightings… 
Stop 2: Juneau. A very gloomy morning, a town with a bad attitude and a pilot with the worst attitude possible. Views were nice, but it wasn’t always clear what we were looking at.
I’ve noted that since adding videos that this page loads quite slowly. So the rest of the legs of the trips will be links.
Or you can go Just Life to my vanilla place and watch them all.
Juneau - after the gloom: We left Juneau’s gloom for a sunnier climps. Was coolish, but gorgeous.
Skagway - a blessing … no rain and a neat train ride that shadowed the old Yukon gold rush trail. I got a few images of the old trail in this slide show… hope you enjoy the slide show’s ending with sunset views…
… lovely sunset…
And Prince Rupert … A very bright and enthisiastic Quebecqua (pronounce kaybekqwa) bush pilot chattered with us through the whole trip and it was amazing… there was an even more glorious sunset.
lemme know if you like it…

Ohhh you leave me misty eyed with remembering, and longing to return! I took nearly exactly the same trip, with many of the same stopping off points, many years ago. My first thought when I saw southeast Alaska from the air was, “I’m HOME!” Couldn’t explain that overwhelming feeling then, can’t now, but it still feels just as true and real! Thanks so much for sharing this!!!!
Big hugs!

I’ve tried to respond on Youtube, Skagway. Not sure if it worked.

Patty -absolutely gorgous! I really enjoyed the music you used. What were the songs for the chant on the Juneu, the first piano piece on the train ride and the song with Prince Rupert?
