Despite the rain, Ketchikan was a nice town. We only got to stay a short while... until 1:00 in the afternoon, but that was enough time to catch the lumberjack show, Canada and USA in a gut wrenching, heart pumping battle of chain saws, axes, and very slippery logs. As corny as it sounds, the show was a pretty entertaining mix of comedy and skill with sharp objects. That picture is one of the last images of that little boy before being sawed in half by team Canada... just kidding. The boy is fine.

Timberrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!
Ketchikan, Alaska. The home of the Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show. Remember that nice sunny day we had in Sitka (read the last post)? It didn't follow us to Ketchikan. This is one of those places that reminds you that the jacket you bought at Old Navy 8 years ago is water "resistant" and not water proof.
