Paula and I went north to Alaska and the Yukon June 20-July 5. We saw grizzly bears, black bears, caribou, wolves, Dall sheep and retraced the rout of the Klondike Gold Rush prospectors. We began with a visit to Paula's friend Lynn in Seattle, took a Holland America cruise from Vancouver, British Columbia, to Skagway, Alaska, and then switched to train, bus and river boat. It was my 10th cruise and 59th trip since my 1996 retirement from the Beacon Journal. I have visited 33 countries and 43 states. Other BJ alums have done even better than that.

Well, John, what did you think? Nice up there in the north don't ya think? Mary Ann and I are looking forward to our seventh trip to Alaska, maybe next year. We would like to take the ferry one way and drive the other. We have cruised once, flew in twice, and driven three times. Each time we drive the road gets better and the adventure less but it's still a good trip.
Youo could have seen a bear in Ravenna
