Check out the growth of the beard.
This is Devil's Club. Pretty nasty stuff, but you can actually eat the green bud. It taste like carrots and contains Vitamin C. It's all over the place up here.

Ferry ride to Haines
This is the best pic I could get of the whale. Until I get a better camera or closer shot. I am thinkin I need to take a kayak out into the inlet and see if I can't get a close up. You can see the water blown from the spout.
Trip to Haines, AK
Haines is a small community 14 miles from Skagway. Here they receive approx. 40" of rain a year as opposed to Skagway's 26". It served as a Military Fort during from 1898 to the end of WWII.
Crabbin Boat out of Seattle WA. Not sure what it was doing in Haines.

Lower Dewey Lake
One of my 10 roommates, Don. He served with Ali in Argentina. Small world?
Lower Dewey Lake
A shop in town has a challenge of Hiking 16 trails around the area. Lower Dewey & Sturgills Landing are now checked off my list.
Sturgills Landing Hike
Great view of the coastal mountain peaks around here.
The forest ground is covered with really short green plants, lots of moisture in this area. Great place for Fungi.
Lots of different terrain to see on this hike.
White Pass & Yukon Route (WP&YR) Train Ride
This is close to the summit of White Pass.
This is an old bridge they no longer use, now the railroad goes through a cave.
