While we stood on the pier in Prince Rupert, B.C., I noticed this elderly couple getting into this very small boat with a couple of bags of groceries, then (in the next picture) they started the motor and headed out across Cow Bay, the deepest harbor in North America. This was apparently just a normal trip to the grocery store for them. I told Scott he would need a beard like that if we were to travel by boat up here.
To me, these people were amazingly brave!
This picture of a bed and breakfast in Prince Rupert is probably my favorite picture of the whole trip because it's so colorful.
This is a mama bear we saw on our way home from the Yukon. We had stopped on the road to let one of her cubs pass. We knew she had to be nearby, so we looked around and saw her, then two other cubs. A cute little family.
We rented a van from Sourdough Car Rental in Skagway (a Sourdough is a person not from Alaska), and really enjoyed the interior scenery of the area. We were not supposed to be allowed to cross into Canada (only one of us had a current passport), but the agents at the border said we could -- that's how we picked up the Yukon unexpectedly.
