Trips north

I like researching other people's journeys, particularly to places we've been (such as Inuvik, NWT and Tuktoyaktuk, NWT). Here's one that I came across this evening, while posting photographs of our June, 2006 trip: Michael Larkin's Arctic Circle trip.

We made it!

Well, we made it safely back to Virginia. Sarah and Joe were off to continue their adventure, including a drive back to the Florida panhandle to get ready for a new school year.

What a trip! 

Rewards

It's time for a reward for a great day of hiking up and down Mt Riley, and all around Haines.

Taiyasanka Harbor and Taiya Inlet

Taiyasanka Harbor is center, left and Taiya Inlet (the approach to Skagway) is center, right. 

Katzehin River mouth

This is where the Katzehin River drains into Lynn Canal. The photograph is taken from the top of Mt Riley. 

Haines

Haines, from the top of Mt Riley. 

That's the Chilkat Inlet and Chilkat River behind me. 

Chilkat Restaurant and Bakery

This is one of our favorite places at which to eat when we're in Haines. 

IGA

It's a slow shopping day at the IGA. This is actually the back entrance, and the store really is open for another hour. 

Hello, mom?

 

Watch out for that cliff!
