May 26, Day 9. Ketchikan and the Misty Fjords

After taking this picture of the entrance to our resort Lana decided it was wash day, Monday, (old habits die hard).  She took me to the laundry to help but I, in no uncertain terms, informed her I did not want to be there---must be a "guy" thing.

Luckily, I didn't have to go with Lana and Chuck to the Misty Fjords.  As some of you can attest to, I don't particularly like boat rides.  I am a unique dog, in that respect.  Lana will have to explain these pictures to you....  Thanks Jack, I will do just that.  So, these are a few things we saw on this awe inspiring boat ride.  This is the New Eddystone Rock, the throat of a old volcano, which is 200 ft high and extends 1000 ft. to the floor of the ocean.

Here is a wall of granite in Rudyerd Bay.  We were surrounded by these stupendous walls.

While we were viewing this area a float plane landed next to us to take in the sights.

 The naturalist on our boat repeatedly told us how lucky we were to view this on a sunny day.  They did not live up to their name but that was really a bonus for us.  Next, enjoy this video Chuck shot.

Ketchikan gets 14 feet, yes, feet, of rain a year and is the 4th wettest spot on earth.  So, Auntie Wanda, no forest fires here.  Good news, Auntie Wanda, you might be able to do this because I thought I saw a pig fly over our camper, either that or an eagle.  Hard to tell which.

Hold your tail high and keep it a waggin'
