I read one of Jim Koepke's posts and remember he is in Washington State or there about.
I was on my morning walk and wondered, Jim, have you seen Denali?
That is a strange question, but those of you that have not been to or visited that
part of the world, you might appreciate it. For those woodworkers that have
not, be aware there is a lot for a woodworker to appreciate there.
I will mention the Inside Passage and Dawson City for two. The Inland Passage
is a cruise up the Inside Passage form Seattle to Vancouver.
You will see Dawson City, Denali, Alaska Pipe Line, Glaciers, Sarah Palin's house,
miles of mountain rail passes, and so on. You will end up in Alaska, very close
to Russia.
If your looking for a summer cruise, check it out. The food and service on the
cruise ships are great. The trip will be by rail and ship.
