My wife and I just got back from a cruise up the southeast coast of Alaska. The cruise part of it was ok (jeez there are a lot of whiny, old people in this world) but it was awesome anytime we could get off the ship.

A glacier in the appropriately named Glacier Bay

Blow and fin of a humpback whale

Sea lions lounging on the beach

A tender boat called the Skookum Yarder (crappy shot through glass at a crappy angle)

Some people standing in front of the root ball from a fallen Sitka Spruce

Sorry, but no shots of woks, microwaves or fire extinguishers.

Alaska is a great place for vacation. I went there a few years back and it was probably my favorite vacation ever. 2 weeks of hiking, camping and freezing.

Yup. We were on a tight budget before the trip and in Alaska for the Mena race. I will be hitting the rest of them. Guess what we missed during the trip ... a free show by Cross Canadian Ragweed and the Doxies.

that'll teach ya to be going off on all these high dollar excursions

Dang yo. Bagging on me for not showing up to a race or two! Have you been yelling at Colin and Laura too?

 

[Cooter Brown]

nah, I don't blame ya. I road tripped to alaska 4 summers ago, and would go at the drop of a hat if given that chance again.

they were going to be @ the mena race, but I think La said she had a car wreck and it was in the shop

I also went on a cruise to Alask a few yrs ago was a blast, i'd love to do it again sometime in my lifetime.

Thats 1 cruise i'd recommend to anyone to try
