We rode from pier 4 to the end of the road north and hiked to a waterfalls and the sea, then back to the bike and rode all the way to the end of the road south and watched eagles flying just under hundred miles on the day great scenery and wildlife
As the road ended to dirt an eagle flew (well actually passed me from above not even 20 feet above me) almost dumped the bike with the surprise as I took my eyes off the road lol good thing I remembered no front brake at low speeds from not having brake last week
Bonnie will upload pics for me later my phone died, verizon fedex one to my office that arrived today
Bonnie just pointed out another eagle flying by the ship gorgeous place sunny skies high 60's right now
Tomorrow Juneau and a helicopter ride to Mendenhall Glacier and walkabout.

Sounds like you are having a great time, can't wait for pictures. Remember, when you are riding a wing, I think the brakes are integrated. If you grab the fronts, the back will work also. Ride Safely.

 If you are riding and it is a must that you keep your eyes on the road, you are riding too fast. |

Typical OSS, soaring with eagles, while I am still dealing with chickens here on earth. I hear the Juneau Hooters has good wings. |

In the north west, when an bald eagle crosses your path it's a good omen. If it's not a bald eagle it dunt mean squat.  Glad your having a good trip.  |

today was Tracy Arm and view Stewart glaciers starting at 6am I was up at 4 with sunrise Was pretty damn cold, too bad my heated gloves are back in seattle with my bike along with my toe warmers We have our helicopter ride at about 6 local time I am thinking a good glass of scotch is going to go down before I leave the ship Never been on a helicopter before, should be interesting, We are missing Anchorage like we missed you on the way out thru Lolo, or maybe we just missed you in the rain Tom Maybe next time if there is one Have a happy 4th of July Remember those who gave so we have today |

Boy, ya'll is a havin too much fun.
Don't worry about the copter ride.
If it goes down, just hang on and pray to God you survive.
Laugh, it was a joke, copter rides are great, you can see a lot of ground from up there.
I've had several chopper rides.
