PETERSBURG, a small fishing village of about 3000 on Mitkof Island, most of the Island is rainforest and muskeg bog. It is known as "Little Norway." Unfortunately it rained the entire three days that we were here. The area gets on average 106 inches of precipitation a year.

We explored the town, poked in all the shops and galleries and enjoyed the little museum. This is a picture of the largest King Salmon ever caught, 126 pounds, in 1939.

There are four canneries here, in 2007 75.4 million pounds of fish were caught and processed. We saw a lot of bald eagles everyday, they are so common here. We have also seen black tailed deer and fawns. This is the time of year for the babies.

The rain let up a little yesterday and we drove the Three Lakes Loop road through 21 miles of rainforest. We stopped and hiked into Crane Lake on a one plank boardwalk through the bog. Lots of fun. We were also able to drive up to a lookout spot to see La Conte Glacier, very impressive.

Sarah paid a visit, Dave thought it was a great photo-op, you betcha!

We head out on the 2:15 Ferry, a 13 hour trip to Sitka, we arrive at 3:15 AM, the sun will just be coming up for another 16 hours of daylight.

Another Adventure!
