ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Salmond fishing in Kitchekan.
Whale watching in Icy-Straight-Point.

Hubbard glacier "Inside Pass".
Whitepass trail in Skagway....road to klondike memories and Yukon.
Alaska pipeline in Anchorage.
highest summet in north america...Mount McKinley.
A ride to Fairbanks on the Alaska train.
A stop in the Denali National Park.
Last stop ...Fairbanks...underground pipes to heat the "permafrost" so that the groung is stable and do no building and infrastructure damages.

A costly but relaxing trip in "another world"

Wow, great pics!!!! Now that is a fish!
Thanks for posting them.

Your wife looks cold on the glacier and you look hot.

Gosh, that is beautiful country up there! Thanks for sharing the pics. What kind of fish is that? Great shot of the whales.

Wow, I'd love to see Alaska. Nice pics!

I really miss home.

I believe thats called 'calving' and yeah, that would be cool to see but you have to keep your distance or you get little boat vs big water problems.

I went looking for a big wave from a glacier calf and found this video, wow check out the waves at about 1:10..

I knew there was a reason behind not wanting to go on a cruise.

Wow, those waves are HUGE.
