3rd port of call: Skagway! Today Keith and I are going to zipline our way through a rain forest! Lessie will guard the ship :) |
Street sign that gets stolen the most in Skagway, Alaska: "Ragged Ass Road" ;-) |
This Tundra used to be the home of a huge glacier, now retreated all there is left is this braided river |
On our way to the rainforrest |
This wide stretched piece of land is called a Tundra. It characterizes it self through the lack of trees. It is basically the path where once lay a thick Glacier. |
Keith and I are ready to zipline! |
This is the image I had in my mind of Alaska, before the trip. Awesome to see in real life. |
We're goin' in! |
This heavy duty terrain wagon will bring us to the top of the hill in the rainforest |
Let's do this! |
Little base camp with baby huskey's and a camp fire, while we wait for our ride up the mountain |
Cute little Alaskan husky puppies. These are smaller than the Syberian huskies. |
Here the baby huskeys can release their energy |
Old pictures of how people transported themselves back in the day |
Keith is ready to rock the zipline! |
So am I! |
Here Keith comes in! |
Whoohooo!! |
Ilona turning upside down on the zipline |
Comin' in !! |
Our zipline instructors |
Our guide Rook taught us all kinds of crazy tricks, like the Fireball. |
The surrounding area of this zipline trail is absolutely breathtaking, with waterfalls and the works |
We did it! It was absolutely fantastic! |
