Wrangell


The Grand Finale is behind us. A bunch of our participants have set out for new waters this morning. Now we can really play. A group of us joined the other half of the participants on an incredible jet boat trip up the Stikine River. It was fantastic. Jim Leslie drove the boat expertly and gave me the giggles with the great turns and skids (it really did feel like he was skidding around corners).



We got to see tons of waterfalls, birds and the best part, the glacier. As if that wasn’t enough, we had a picnic lunch as the base of a waterfall. On the way back to Wrangell, we saw three moose. Initially, they weren’t very interested in us, but Jim lured them out of the trees with some impressive moose calls.




After we got back, the group was so tired, we all took naps. We met up later that night at the Totem Bar. We had our fair share of drinks and fried food and played every song on their jukebox. It was a late night and none of us were any better for the many drinks we’d consumed.
