Alaska's Inside Passage, 2007

In June, 2007, we took Clemmie by ferry up the Inside Passage to Alaska from Port Angeles, WA. This involved several long ferry trips, and a road trip up Vancouver Island's east coast, ending in Haines in mid July. We were accompanied as far as Juneau by our sister-in-law, Martha. These photos are also available as a slide show that includes notes from our trip.
