From Juneau we took a 19 hour ferry ride to Ketchikan, which is the southernmost city before arriving in British Columbia.  Our campsite was right on the water and we saw many sea lions less than 50 feet from our RV.  Ketchikan is the last city we stayed at in Alaska and we will really miss our stay in the last frontier.  Alaska is a beautiful state and was hard to see it all in 10 weeks.   We have met many wonderful people and seen some amazing sights.

While in Ketchikan it rained for most of the stay but we did manage to get out one day and go for a hike in the rain forest.  The weather is still in the upper 50’s during the day and mid 40’s at night, with rain and overcast skies mainly.  Alaska is definitely giving us the boot to get out with all this rainy weather.  We will miss Alaska and will be back some day.

This was our spot when we got to Ketchikan. We were right on the water with the usual gravel, which we have become accustomed to.

From our RV we saw a Sea Lion swimming about 50 feet from us.

Make that two Sea Lions.

Ok three!!!!!!!!

We finally had some sunshine, the first time in about 3 weeks, and we decided to go for a hike. This was called the Lunch Creek trail, and was a wonderful hike through the rain forest.

Daddy and I stopped to take a photo in front of a stream. The water was all stained brown from the tannins in the water.

Mommy and I walking. These huge trees were Sitka Spruce, and can get over 700 years old.

Daddy and I love these old trees!!!

Rhonda snapped this photo showing how we had to back the RV on to this smaller ferry. Was definitely an experience.
