Successful ferry trip to Ketchikan. Cold and rainy again, so we stuck around the camp site this afternoon. We'll play tourists tomorrow and go see the totem poles and down town Ketchikan. Ketchikan is like Juneau and Sitka - it has about 20 miles of road. The only way to get here is water or air. It is always rainy here - I heard someone say they had 2 days of sun so far this summer. The ferry ride was fine for us- please refer to Larry's comments for more information! We stay in Ketchikan until July 31. On the 31st we have an all day ferry ride to Prince Rupert, British Columbia. Then a 2,500 mile drive home.

Comments from Eldon: I guess we've been lucky with all the nice days we had this trip, but it doesn't look to be ending that way. The ferry ride was comfortable. The cabin was small but functional. I enjoyed the "free" shower. Several campgrounds have charged for showers on this trip.

Comments from Larry: I chewed through 2 layers of duct tape in the screen door trying to get out of the camper on the ferry. Lots of new holes in it too. While E & C were up in their nice cabin, I was in purgatory again in the bowels of the ship. If I ever take a boat again, it wil be too soon.
