Petersburg, AK

Well, we are now in Petersburg, AK till 1 AM Friday morning.  Then we have a 12 hour ferry trip to Juneau.  Below are some pics that I've had some fun taking:
Mature Bald Eagle on nest several hundred yards from our campsite - Nemo NFS site - 3 campsites.

Two of us after completing hike up 665 steps to view the waterfall behind us - Rainbow Falls, Wrangell, AK

Our ferry entering Wrangell narrows, a very narrow stretch of water with 70+ navigational aides for the ship.  We travelled through here at only 10 knots.

Gorgeous Iris plant near our campsite at Ohmer Creek, NFS, Petersburg, AK.

We drove up to a viewing area looking over Frederick sound and La'Conte glacier  (Petersburg) - you can see some of the blue ice....problem is that it wa so bright today and I wish I had a polarizing filter for my 300 mm lens....my next purchase :).

This immature eagle sat right here much of the time we ate our dinner tonight in a small park in Petersburg.  He's probably 3-4 years old as we're told they don't get the full white head and tail till they are 5 years old.



So, tonight we will get in line by the ferry around 10 or so and then crawl into bed for a couple hours.  The boat leaves at 1 AM stopping at one other small town along the way.  More later.........
