We spent a few hours in Ketchikan, our last stop prior to riding south at Bellingham, WA on Saturday and home to the $400M Bridge to Nowhere project. Interesting to hear the other side of the story: the bridge would have connected Ketchikan with a neighboring island where their airport is located, replacing the current ferry system. The high cost was greatly due to the tall spans required to allow cruise ships to pass underneath.
Here's some of the beauty we saw...
Home on a private island.
Ketchikan is known for its' totem poles, we saw several great carvings.
A fish ladder to help the Salmon get upstream to spawn.
Nita downloaded a copy of Camera+, nice effects!
The harbor at Ketchikan. Busy place!
Lots of seaplane traffic. Almost all deHavilland Beavers.
And lovely flowers.
Poppies.
