   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.  :cooldude:
Everything is - Nothing is .


When you come to a fork in the road - TAKE IT!

I'm putting in a call to the League Office!   🎳

 In the north west, when an bald eagle crosses your path it's a good omen.  :cooldude:

If it's not a bald eagle it dunt mean squat.  ;) Glad your having a good trip.  :)
Smooth is where it's at. (o_0)

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.

breathtaking ride in the helicopter to the Mendenhall Glacier got some movies and pics bonnie will be uploading in the next few days  tomorrow train to the yukon and back

it was COLD and WINDY up there, even worse than Buffalo in the winter but just beautiful  the crevasses were much bigger and deeper than I imagined  The pilot was great and we had the time of our lives  worth every penny and then some

Its gonna be hard going back to work monday but I got to pay for this trip

now to put another dent in this bottle of scotch I brought with us from Seattle

Today was a train to BC and a bus to the Yukon and back   lots of fun  when I get to seattle I will clear some room on photostash and post a few pics
