This was a one day trip and definitely the most scenic since leaving the Black Hills of South Dakota. My main goal today was to drive through some of the scenic mountain roads of the Allegheny mountains and also see the Flight 93 Memorial, which is located in Somerset county, PA. The day started with a light drizzle over Pennsylvania. Again I slept very well at the Hampton Inn's king size bed, and had a nice, hearty breakfast of eggs, bacon and coffee to start the day with a kick. Out ...
Well, I am now in Alexandria, VA, and although I have not forgotten the blog I have been very busy for the last two days visiting my brother with a new kid and other family members in Virginia. Tonight I should be posting the latest installment of the trip, from Pennsylvania to Virginia. It was another awesome part of this trip.
I had a very nice night in Billings, and had a hard time waking up, as the king size bed I was in was very, very comfortable.

There were clouds over the shore but not at sea, so the sky was warmed with a nice amber glow that just made the arrival even more welcoming. As we approached the shore ...
Days five and six were days that were spent sailing south towards the USA. On day five we were arriving in Ketchikan, Alaska at around 10 am, so I slept in until 9 am. The boat was rolling pretty good the night before, so I went to the bar, had a few beers and added to the rolling. I ended up sleeping very well despite the motion. I woke up to a gray day (as it's usual in these parts) just as we were approaching Ketchikan. We spent most of the day anchored in Ketchikan. We had a few ...
