The Misty Fjords lie close north of the BC border in southeast Alaska.
Arriving at Ketchikan by air, Kristin and I made final arrangements
before the rest of the group arrived next morning by ferry from
Bellingham WA. A fast ride on "The Boat" with our kayaks to a drop-off
point at a forestry cabin and we were on our own. We followed a
meandering route to the Behm Canal and south to Rudyerd Bay and
Punchbowl Cove, where we were met by The Boat again, and returned to
Ketchikan....

Visitors bring dressed crab and fresh salad... our friends from the forest service guess where they might find us! (Nacho, center)
The last time we had seen Nacho he was filling his car with cooking oil in Seattle. He drove from San Diego to Alaska on recycled oil, filtering out the bits of cooked food.
